Sri Lanka (Ceylon) Cat's Eye
Sri Lanka is the historic top source for chrysoberyl cat's eye, long producing the sharpest, most clearly defined eyes in honey-yellow to greenish-yellow tones.
Ceylon cat's eye is prized for exactly the qualities collectors look for most: a razor-sharp, well-centered chatoyant band and the classic "milk and honey" split when the stone is turned under a point light source. Its long-standing gem trade and cutting expertise make it the reference origin buyers compare other sources against.
