Chrysoberyl

✨Chrysoberyl, derived from the Greek words "Chrysos" (gold) and "Beryuos" (green gem), means "golden green gem." In the jewelry world, it is also known as "golden green jade" or "golden green beryllium." Chrysoberyl itself is a rare mineral, and those that can form cat's eye and color-change effects are even rarer, making them extremely precious. Among chrysoberyls, the most famous is the chrysoberyl cat's eye.

🔮Chrysoberyl is an oxide of beryllium and aluminum, and those of high quality are extremely valuable. Chrysoberyl typically appears as thick plates, transparent with a glassy luster, and comes in various shades of green or yellow to brown. Some may exhibit different colors under different light sources. It is mainly found in pegmatites, aplites, and mica schists, and also occurs as a detrital mineral in sand and gravel layers. Due to its hardness and wear resistance, it can also be found in streams and gravel. Although chrysoberyl can be produced artificially, its quality is not as good as natural ones.

🔮The variety of chrysoberyl with a cat's eye effect is called a cat's eye stone; the variety with a color-change effect is called alexandrite. Among all gemstones, there are many varieties with a cat's eye effect, but according to national standards, only chrysoberyl with a cat's eye effect can be directly called a cat's eye, while other gemstones with a cat's eye effect cannot be directly called a cat's eye.

🔮Alexandrite cat's eye, also known as Alexander's cat's eye, exhibits both color-change and cat's eye phenomena. It is the rarest and most precious type of chrysoberyl, found only in Sri Lanka, and is quite expensive.

🔮Chrysoberyl is highly valued for its applications in jewelry. They are often faceted into stunning gemstones for rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets. Additionally, chrysoberyl has excellent transparency and can be used as a gem lens, making it suitable for various industries, including optics.
