6.79 ct. Cat's Eye Kyanite

Kyanite is not a species that produces many cat's eye gems, especially stones with relatively well defined and strong eyes.  This particular Brazilian example is a very good example of moderate to strong chatoyancy in this difficult species.  In addition, the lovely blue color is both attractive and consistent - these are sometimes strongly zoned.  Very nice polish and attractive round proportions.
