South Africa Cat's Eye Tourmaline Bracelet A (5-7mm beads)
This South African cat's eye tourmaline bracelet is made of small tumbled stones approximately 5 to 7mm in size. Under light, some stones may reveal a shimmering reflection that appears to move across their surface.
Originally from South Africa, this bracelet is made of tumbled Grade A cat's eye tourmaline stones. This designation refers to tourmaline exhibiting an optical phenomenon called chatoyancy.
Under appropriate lighting, the inclusions and internal structure of the stone can reveal a luminous band reminiscent of a cat's vertical pupil. The intensity and sharpness of this reflection can vary depending on the stone's orientation, the light source, and each specimen.
The tumbled stones, approximately 5 to 7mm, give the bracelet a natural and original appearance. It can be worn alone or paired with other natural stone bracelets.
With a length of approximately 18 cm, this bracelet is suitable for wrists measuring approximately 17 to 19 cm.
The colors, patterns, inclusions, transparency, and intensity of the cat's eye effect can vary from one stone to another. These unique characteristics make each bracelet one-of-a-kind.
