What is a Cat's Eye Stone?

Cat's Eye is a gemstone (formerly known as a "semi-precious stone"). It was first described by the German geologist and mineralogist Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1790. It is named after the luminous line that appears on its surface, resembling the vertical pupil of a cat's eye. This phenomenon called "chatoyancy" is due to the reflection of light on the mineral. At France Perles, we offer Cat's Eye tourmaline. It has a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale.
