Natural Color-Change Alexandrite Cat’s Eye — 0.67 Carat
A small gemstone with an intriguing play of light. This 0.67 carat natural alexandrite cat’s eye from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) combines color change with a luminous band across its oval cabochon. Its olive-green appearance in the supplied photographs gives it an earthy character, while the polished dome brings attention to the cat’s-eye effect.
Offered unheated and untreated, this earth-sourced gemstone is an individual choice for a gem collector or someone planning a delicate piece of bespoke jewelry. At 5.00 × 4.45 × 2.87 mm, it has a petite presence suited to a thoughtful, understated design.

Discover Its Cat’s-Eye Effect and Color Change
The cat’s-eye effect, known as chatoyancy, is a band of reflected light created by aligned internal features. A smooth cabochon cut helps reveal this effect, which becomes more noticeable under a focused light source as the stone or light moves.
Alexandrite’s color change is observed by comparing daylight with incandescent lighting. The combination of color change and a cat’s eye makes this an unusual gemstone to explore. Its exact hues, the strength of the change, and the visibility of the eye depend on the lighting and viewing conditions.
For a closer look before purchasing, ask us for additional photos or a video under different lighting.
Ideas for Your Own Jewelry Design
Consider this loose oval alexandrite cat’s eye for a custom ring or pendant. Yellow gold could complement its earthy green appearance, while white gold or platinum could create a cooler contrast. A simple setting would keep attention on the gemstone’s moving band of light.
Its petite size could suit a delicate promise ring or an understated engagement ring for someone drawn to unusual natural gemstones. It also offers interest as an unmounted addition to a collection of colored gemstones.
Ask your jeweler to check the full dimensions and dome profile before choosing a semi-mount setting, and to consider the eye’s orientation in the finished design. This listing is for one loose gemstone; a setting is not included.

Lovely stone and packaged very nicely.
Correct size and weigh.

I LOVE my ring, thank you so much Sapphirepal
It fits perfectly and I love the setting too. The stones are stunning!!!
Thank you again for delivering quality and helpful support.
Before making a purchase, I inquired if they would also create a setting for whichever gemstone I chose. After they confirmed they would, I found the most beautiful purple/lavender sapphire. I purchase the stone and then sent them the vision I have for the setting. They delivered 100% of what I asked for and even more I could’ve dreamed of. The east to west half bezel sapphire ring is truly breathtaking. Communication was easy, fast and they were super honest about delays and whatnot. Even when I changed my mind on a few details in the beginning, they were so kind and had no problem adjusting what I asked for or confirming any questions I had. I’m so thankful to have worked with Sapphire Pal. Truly, thank you for bringing my sapphire ring dream to life! <3
Smaller than anticipated but absolutely beautiful 😄 Shipping was quick, and it was handled with care.
鑑別書もあって安心感があって良かった。
I had a very positive experience purchasing from SapphirePal. Pete was responsive, patient and professional throughout the process, and took the time to answer my questions in detail. He also provided additional photos and videos when requested, which was very helpful when buying a gemstone online.
The stone arrived safely, well packaged and as described, with the certification included. Overall, a smooth and reassuring experience, and I would happily recommend SapphirePal!
Absolutely stunning purchase once again from Sapphirepal 🤩 thsnk you !!
Very happy with colour and cut. A really pretty stone that I look forward to seeing as jewellery.
OMG, just spectacular, and excellent quality. Thanks again for your wonderful service and super quick postage time. I can't wait until I find my next precious gem.
Just stunning. I love this bi- Color sapphire. Flawless to look at, and expertly packaged and presented for my collection. Communication and postage time were exceptional. Thank you. I can’t wait until I have saved enough for my next special gem.
This gemstone is just perfect. My only criticism is the photos on your site were not the best quality for me. However, reading the description of this gem, together with photos, I took the plunge and ordered this true gem. I was so very pleasantly surprised when it arrived, as it certainly held up to its reputation. This is the first time I have purchased from sapphire pal. And I don’t think it will be my last either. Communication, fast delivery, and accurate descriptions, all to be commended. Thank you.
Very good quality sapphires and fast shipping! Thank you!
Hello! 🇺🇦I just wanted to thank you — my grey spinel from Australia has finally arrived in Ukraine. The stone is absolutely beautiful and exactly what I hoped for! Thank you for the great service, smooth delivery, and amazing customer support. Your support was invaluable at every stage of the long delivery journey. I’m really happy with my purchase and will definitely be ordering only from you from now on!
I received what i expected. The stones are with the certificates of authenticity. Had a little bit delay with the delivery due to post issues, I will buy the stones which are much bigger. It was a first try to buy on line. Highly recommend gem stones in this shop.
Absolutely wonderful stone. Great and fast customer service. My stone is actually 1.13ct so it was a tiny bit larger than listed, the colours are true to the photos (stunning!), had a jeweller look at it who said it was a "very nice QLD sapphire". Very very happy customer.
