Jazz fans look upon chrysoberyl (4-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cats-eye

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chrysoberyl' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'jazz fans look' is the wordplay.
'jazz fans' becomes 'cats' (I've seen this in another clue).
'look' becomes 'eye' (eyeing is a kind of looking).
'cats'+'eye'='CATS-EYE'

'upon' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cats-eye that I've seen before include "Light-reflecting stud" , "Reflective stud" , "Reflector used in roads" , "Small glass device in a road surface" , "Gem; road reflector" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
