what do you think about this cat''s eyes?

The stone is from India, recently I took this stone to others jewelery shop and the seller told me that the inside body of the stone is rough and not clear...

I just called the seller this morning about the stone and the seller told me that this is original stone which means that the stone of the inside body will not that well form because it''s original.. But im not that sure.. I was thinking about to exchange for a new one..

Please kindly advice me. Thanks

the line looks nice and defined..not really sure what you are saying..if the inside is transparent or highly translucent you will pay more than an opaque one

Hello! Thanks for the reply

it''s not transparent or highly translucent and the gems it self is us$1K..

should I ask for the exchange of this stone? and is''t well worth to spend on this amount of the purchase because when i took this stone to other shop the seller told me that this is not a worth stone and it was only about less than us$100.. Which means i had been scam... But im not really sure as far as i know that the stone that i purchase from the shop is quite well known in gems...

also may i know what is the color of the body stone? not the eyes..

Please kindly advice me..

Clicky!

I am not sure what the seller means by saying that the inside body is rough because it is original. The cat''s eye is very sharp (good!) but the colour is too dark and brown for my taste.

Is the color of your picture accurate? If the body color is black or very dark, it doesn't look like very expensive catseye chrysoberyl, it looks like very cheap and common cat'e eye enstatite:

Also is your seller selling you true cat's eye chrosoberyl, not just cat's eye, $1000/stone is quite fair or even cheap for chrysoberyl, but outrageous for other cat's eyes, and there are a number of other gems that show this effect.


Here's what true cats eye looks like:
