Cats-Eye Opalite is a rare chatoyant form of Opal. The attribute that gives this stone its popularity and name is the phenomena known as chatoyancy, also known in the gem trade as “the cat's eye effect”. The reason for this fascinating phenomenon is very fine inclusions within the stone. When a light source is directed on these inclusions it creates a bright strip that appears and runs perpendicular to the inclusions. This strip will then glide across the surface of the stone when turned over. This natural gemstone is found only in Tanzania. Opalite Cats Eye is best known for it's creamy honey color and strong cats-eye effect.
