Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Cat’s Eye carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that a Cat’s Eye is genuine. Lab-created (fake) Cat’s Eye have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Cat’s Eye, but if you find flaws, then your Cat’s Eye is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Cat’s Eye are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Cat’s Eye. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Cat’s Eye, it is not genuine.

Look at how light is reflected by the Cat’s Eye. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Cat’s Eye. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural color of the gem.
