The most famous and valuable cat's eye gemstone is chrysoberyl cat's eye. In fact when the term cat's eye is used alone in the gem trade, it always refers to chrysoberyl cat's eye. All other types of cat's eye gems require an additional varietal designation, such as cat's eye apatite. Chrysoberyl cat's eye is so highly regarded due to its excellent hardness (8.5 on the Mohs scale), superb luster and remarkably sharp cat's eye effect.

I love this website. I have been browsing for years and now can utilise the stones in jewellery. Sooo many stones and so little spare time to make them into beautiful things

Gemselect has good prices and many different varieties. I like to collect untreated natural loose gemstones and this is the only website I purchase from. All gemstones are highly detailed about information, state whether they are treated or not, county of origin. I highly recommend them.

I’ve made several purchases from Gemselect over the past few years since I began making jewelry. I have been always pleased with the website and quality of stones and shipping. I will keep coming back to shop here.

I wanted to buy some gems because I think theya'd be cool to have and this seemed like the best website to buy them from. The website is a bit old looking and could use an update to the user interface but otherwise ita's great.

Well fell in love with the site right away ordered two many items I knew I would return a few. Decided I wanted to invest in a sapphire emerald or ruby after more research. The diamonds that I received we just stuck together just ordered one more I will have 10 in all diamonds two yellow six white. I'm so very happy I didn't know what I was going to keep and definitely diamonds were winner.
