ABOUT Chrysoberyl

Chrysoberyl is best known for its use as a gem. There are multiple varieties of gem chrysoberyl, each with its own name and unique physical properties.

Ordinary chrysoberyl is a yellow to yellow-green to green gemstone with a translucent to transparent diaphaneity. Transparent specimens are usually cut into faceted stones. Specimens that are translucent or with silk are usually cut into cabochons.

CAT’S EYE

Chrysoberyl is the gemstone that produces the most distinct “cat’s-eye,” or chatoyance. The phenomenon of cat’s-eye occurs in cabochon-cut stones that contain a high density of parallel fibrous inclusions. The “cat’s-eye” is a line of light that reflects from the dome of the cabochon at right angles to the parallel inclusions. The line of light is very similar to how a spool of silk thread will produce a line of reflection across the top of the spool as it is moved back and forth under a source of light.

ALEXANDRITE

Alexandrite is the colour-change variety of chrysoberyl. The most distinctive specimens appear to have a green to blue-green colour in daylight but change to a red to purplish-red colour under incandescent light. Specimens with strong and distinct colour-change properties are rare, highly desirable, and sell at very high prices. Stones over five carats are especially rare.

Alexandrite serves as a birthstone for the month of June.We sell loose gemstone in the UK, our loose gemstones are sourced from Sri Lanka (Ceylon gemstone).
