The Cat's Eye is a grounding stone which amplifies the energy of other crystals. It is believed to be a strength giving stone and is excellent for replenishing drained energy or regenerating the body after an illness. It transforms negative energy into positive thinking, clearing the aura and bringing self confidence, happiness, harmony and kindness. They are thought to enhance clear thinking, concentration and can be used to find sources of wealth and excellence.
The name Cats Eye refers to the the way the stone reflects light, called chatoyancy it is due to inclusions of slender parallel mineral fibres. Many types of stones display this chatoyancy but it is only the Chrysoberyl named Cymophane which can be called Cat's Eye. It ranges in colour from colourless to pink, yellow and green. These gemstones became popular in the 19th century when the Duke of Connaught gave one to his fiancee as an engagement gift. Traditionally, it has been used to protect the wearer from negativity, to attract wealth and as a fortifying stone. It was also believed to make its carrier invisible and worn as an amulet to guard against infidelity.
Natural Cats Eye or Cymophane is a Chrysoberyl with a hardness of 8.5. It is most usually found in Sri Lanka, Bavaria, Burma, Zimbabwe and India.

Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals.
Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. These are best as occasion pieces.
