[Is Cat’s Eye a fake / man made crystal?] Although many crystals can display a cat’s eye effect, (also called chatoyance), when Cat’s Eye is used alone it always refers to the crystal Chrysoberyl. #chrysoberyl displays the finest “cat’s eye”. Other crystals that can display chatoyance: tigers eye, quartz, aquamarine, peridot, moonstone, emerald, garnet, etc. Now, Cat’s Eye or crystals with a cat’s eye effect are quiet expensive. Thus most of what you see on the market is actually synthetic. Since “real” Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye has a hardness of 8.5 you can test your by trying to scratch it. Hope today’s video was useful.
