SCAPOLITE CAT'S EYE

Cat's eye scapolite is a chatoyant variety of scapolite; a sodium calcium aluminium silicate with a rather complex chemical composition. Chatoyancy is an optical phenomenon distinguished by a unique reflection of light that closely resembles the slit-eye of a cat. It is an exceptionally rare phenomenon known to occur in only a handful of gem varieties; for example, chrysoberyl, apatite, aquamarine and tourmaline. Cat's eye scapolite is extremely rare and virtually unheard of by most. Owing to its rarity, scapolite is classified as one of the lesser-known gemstones, and due to its lack of hardness, cat's eye scapolite is primarily a collector's stone. Although it is not very popular for jewellery, it is still highly desirable for its attractive honey-yellow colour and cat's eye effect.
