Fortunately, distinguishing natural stone from glass imitation is quite simple. Chrysoberyl is a very hard mineral – 8.5 on the Mohs scale. And this means that it can be scratched (unlike glass) only with ruby, sapphire or diamond. By itself, the cat’s eye can leave scratches on the glass. But if precious gems are not at hand, you can determine the natural stone in another way: put it in the dark. In fact, natural chrysoberyl in the absence of lighting will glow like the eye of a real cat. And the gloss of this mineral will increase if you wipe it with a cloth, while the fake does not change.
Interestingly, the largest chrysoberyl weighing eight kilograms was registered in 1828. It is located in the treasury of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Also it is worth noting that a false stone looks much brighter and more beautiful than a natural one.
