Scapolite Cat's eye

Welcome to our exclusive Scapolite Cat’s Eye collection at Gem Selections, a carefully curated range of chatoyant gemstones that reflect sophistication and mystique. Each stone bears a shimmering band of light reminiscent of a feline gaze and is a fine example of chatoyancy in the gemstone world.

What Makes Scapolite Cat’s Eye Special?

Scapolite is part of a mineral group that occurs in natural crystalline series, ranging between marialite and meionite. Some specimens reveal a glowing stripe across the surface. This cat’s eye effect arises from fine fibrous inclusions reflecting light in a single line under proper cabochon cutting.

With colours spanning golden yellow, violet, pink, brown, grey, and colourless tones, cat’s eye scapolite offers both subtle and striking options. Rare varieties from Myanmar and Sri Lanka showcase particularly sharp chatoyancy and depth.

A Personal Note

If you value gemstones that are both distinctly beautiful and less commonly found, this collection speaks to you. The cat’s eye glow, combined with rich hues, speaks of artistry and nature’s finesse. These stones become conversation pieces in pendants, earrings, or talismanic jewellery.

Rich Heritage & Colour Variations

Historically, scapolite hasn’t held the same renown as diamonds or rubies, yet it is gaining attention due to its scarcity, range of hues, and optical effects. Mines in Tanzania, Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar yield some of the most interesting specimens, especially those showing chatoyancy.

Yellow and golden tones are most widely available; pink and violet specimens are rarer and more coveted. Myanmar also offers grey or brown cat’s eye variants with a strong sheen. Fluorescence or tenebrescence may appear under ultraviolet light in select stones, adding to their appeal.

Physical & Metaphysical Qualities

On the Mohs scale, scapolite registers around 5.5 to 6.0 hardness and has perfect cleavage in one direction. For this reason, protective settings, especially for rings, are advised. Preferred designs include earrings, pendants, or brooches with bezel or halo mountings to guard the stone.

People often seek scapolite for a range of holistic well-being purposes. In gem lore, Scapolite Cat’s Eye is associated with promoting emotional calm, helping with anxiety or fear, and aiding in clarity of thought and decision‑making. It is considered among the best crystals for the eyes and is believed to support visual well-being, alongside soothing the mind.
