    Dear Derek First is it a blue like sapphire blue or like aqua blue?
    second all beryl with the possible exceptions of Bixbite and
    Goshenite( I've never heard about catseye Bixbite but probably
    couldn't afford it if it did exist!!!) has chatoyant examples. For a
    definitive answer contact the GIA and pay for an appraisal...but
    don't be supprised if it turns out to be a treated form of Aqua
    catseye ( again something I've never heard of but that doesn't make
    it not the case) Good luck and if it turns out to be something new
    and you cut it Please keep me in mind for one of the stones!!! as I
    just put the new red " beryl " and a heliodore into my collection of
    catseyes and starred stones and would like the chance to add this to
    them. HTH Ron
