This exceptional 22.66 ct milky white quartz cabochon is one of the finest examples of cat’s eye quartz we’ve encountered—cut from rare chatoyant material sourced from the legendary Golconda Mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Measuring 20mm x 15mm x 5mm, the stone exhibits an incredibly crisp and well-defined chatoyancy that remains razor-sharp as it glides across the surface from every angle of light.
The silky, luminous body of the quartz provides the perfect stage for the central cat’s eye effect, which appears to float just above the surface, dividing the stone like a blade of light. Unlike many quartz cat’s eyes that show broken or inconsistent banding, this one holds its line with remarkable clarity across the entire dome, revealing its high-grade internal fibrous structure.
Material of this quality from Golconda is exceedingly rare and coveted for its consistency, purity, and gem potential. Whether destined for a custom jewelry piece or a collector’s display case, this is a true gemological standout—pure elegance born from natural optical precision.
