Derek,

    I have at least a kilo of chatoyant blue and different pastel shades
    of beryl from Brazil.  These were purchased during the early 1980's
    in Tucson. I have cut about 20 or so stones from these parcels and
    put them aside because none that I cut were what I would consider gem
    quality.  Each crystal looks good in the rough, but when cut are a
    little too murky or off color. 

    Chatoyancy can occur in any gemstone.  Last year I saw a beautiful
    cat's-eye tanzanite.  It had one of the sharpest eyes I have ever
    seen and it was priced way out of my range. 

    Gerry Galarneau Any one who is a show dealer or jewelry maker who
    makes their own products and wants to correspond with me off ORCHID
