The Cat Eye was first described by the German geologist and mineralogist Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1790. The stone is so called because of its luminous line appearing on the surface and which resembles the vertical pupil of the eye Of the cat. This phenomenon is due to the reflection of light on the mineral.
