Modern jewelry sort of like tiger eye, what do you call it?

If it even has a name - it looks pretty much like white tiger eye but the bar of white moves up or down when the jewelry moves.  I know the jewelry itself is no big deal but it is nice to know the name of things.

Cat's eye glass.

Another name is fiber-optic glass.

There is a slight possibility that it may be chrysoberyl. I comes in many colors, tiger eye being one of them. Chatoyancy is the technical name for it's properties.

I'm pretty sure it's just glass, not a real stone.

A real chrysoberyl that size would be set in gold, not costume. It looks like glass to me too, and relatively new.

There are some very similar to mine that are set in sterling (mine isn't) and I believe they are just glass too.
