Hi Tracy :)
I found this Q and A that I wrote quite a while ago that may help to explain Cat's Eye.
Q: Is Cat's Eye a crystal?
A: No, in actuality, Cat's Eye is a type of shimmer like configuration which can be in a number of different specimens, mainly a variety of quartz, tourmaline or chrysoberyl, but not limited to only these.
Q: So what defines "Cat's Eye" ?
A: A crystal is called Cat's Eye, when it basically exhibits a vertical chatoyancy which allows the stone to resemble a cat's eye
Q: OK, what exactly is "chatoyancy"?
A: Chatoyancy is a jewelry term meaning "reflecting a single streak of light"
Q: What causes the chatoyancy?
A: A chatoyancy is usually caused from the inclusion of straight fibers of asbestos
Q: Does it have any metaphysical properties?
A: Of course! Cat's eye can be used to stimulate intuition and to enhance awareness, as well as being a protective stone and dispelling unwanted energies from ones etheric field.
Q: So what is the difference between Tigers Eye or Hawkeye and something like Cat's Eye?
A: Usually the shimmer in something like a Tigers Eye is going across the piece and in repetitive fashion. Cat's Eye has a streak of light going up and down and is usually a singular reflection.
