Stones above $5,000 are sold by arrangement rather than through the basket. Above that value no ordinary courier will both carry and insure a loose stone, so carriage goes through a specialist service and is quoted for your destination — and settlement is by bank transfer, which keeps the card fee off a sum this size.

About this stone

Chrysoberyl makes the best cat's eyes of any species, and this one has the two things that matter: the eye is sharp and stays centred as the stone rocks, and it shows the milk-and-honey effect properly — one side of the eye gold, the other milky white, under a single light.

Domed well, with enough depth under the eye that it doesn't wash out. Untreated, as chrysoberyl of this kind almost always is.

How big it actually is

ANY BANK CARD
The stone’s 10.9 × 8.6mm outline, drawn to the same scale as a bank card. Hold one against the screen and the stone beside it is life size — if the card does not match, zoom until it does. The outline is the idealised shape rather than this stone’s own profile; the photographs are the stone.
