This is a rare specimen with a particularly prominent cat's eye effect. Please consider this valuable blue-colored piece. Tourmaline is a stone that crystallizes in a columnar shape. It has striations running down the column like a curtain. These are called tubular inclusions, and similar lines can be seen in kunzite and topaz. When a raw stone with strong striations is processed into round beads, it creates tourmaline beads with a strong cat's eye effect. This time, it's a rare indigo-lite tourmaline color bead of such cat's eye tourmaline. Because the cat's eye effect is dominant, the transparency is somewhat subdued, but instead, the cat's eye is clearly visible. Please consider this uncompromising grade.
