Cat's Eye Beads

I'm just learning about cat's eye beads. Here's some basic info:

Resin Cat's Eye beads get their name from the unique way they refract light, resembling the oblong center of a cat''s eye. These beads are lighter than glass, expertly shaped with brilliant color and a well-defined "eye" line. They set off their shining light although at dark place.

Sometimes referred to as fiber-optic beads, change hue as they capture and reflect light and have a band of light running through the center that resembles a cat's eye.

Fiber optic cat's eye beads are made from a special glass (the same glass fiber optics are made from) 

Cat's Eye beads are man-made fiber optic glass expertly shaped into round beads by fusing quartz fibers together. The color is brilliant and the bead refracts light. Sometimes referred to as "fiber-optic", these man-made beads changes hue as they capture the light and have a band of light running through the center that resembles a 'cat's eye'.

The optical illusions within each Cat's Eye bead create a stylish movement when worn on the wrist. These beads are actually Synthetic Quartz Cat's Eye beads, they change their appearance by looking at them from different angles. The cat's-eye beads have a very definite eye streak and appear to shine from below the surface.
