Extraordinary Cat's Eye Moonstone cabochon from India. This gemstone exhibits chatoyancy, a silky band of light, resembling the slit eye of a cat, which moves across its surface when properly oriented or when light is directed towards it! It has a sharp, and bright cat's eye effect, with a pleasing milky-white body color.
Indian Cat's Eye moonstones are highly sought after due to their exceptional chatoyancy, color, and transparency
Last photo is using a flashlight. Was surprised the flashlight revealed a separate eye. Really awesome stone
