CAT'S-EYE CHRYSOBERYL MATCHED PAIR (India) 1.73 T.C.W. Oval

A number of gem minerals can be cut to display "eyes" but only one, chrysoberyl, is known by the single name Cat's-Eye. Matched pairs are hard to find in any gems so this pair of cat's-eyes is rather unusual. They're perfect for earrings, cuff links or any other jewelry use. Both stones are grayish-yellow with very sharp, well-defined eyes. One is 0.86 ct., (5.1 x 6.1 x 2.84 mm.) the other 0.87 ct. (5.1 x 6 x 2.85 m.) Chrysoberyl is a very hard (8.5 Mohs) and durable mineral that produces two other famous gem varieties: alexandrite and yellow-to-greenish yellow clear faceted stones. (All uses, No treatment)
