- Chrysoberyl - Chrysoberyl is a mineral species that includes two common varieties: ordinary chrysoberyl and cat's eye chrysoberyl (also known as cymophane). The mineral is typically yellowish-green in color, but can also be brown, gray, or nearly colorless. It is often used as a gemstone, with the cat's eye variety being particularly prized for its chatoyancy (a reflective effect that resembles the slit eye of a cat). Chrysoberyl is relatively hard and durable, making it suitable for use in jewellery.
- Cabochon Cut in Jewellery - A cabochon cut is a type of gemstone cutting where the stone is cut and polished in a convex shape with a flat bottom and a domed top, with no facets. This type of cut is typically used for opaque or translucent stones that have natural patterns or inclusions that are best displayed in this type of cut. Examples of stones that are often cut as cabochons include turquoise, opal, and moonstone.
