Some Quartz display a Cats-eye effect, and belongs to the larger Quartz family. Beautiful Quartz, is widely used in jewellery. Other types of Quartz likeamethyst, citrine, ametrine, rose quartz, colorless and rutilated quartz are also popular due to their availability in large sizes also to the affordable price.The term cat’s eye, or chatoyancy, is used to describe a phenomenal optical property in gemstones, in this case quartz gems. The effect, when present, appears as a bright, narrow slit similar to the pupils in the eyes of your favorite feline. This phenomenon is caused by parallel fibrous or needle-like inclusions that interfere with the passage of light throughout the crystal, scattering and reflecting light back to the viewer as a thin line.
