Understanding gemstone of Ketu, Cat’s Eye gemstone

Cat’s Eye originates from Beryllium Aluminate, the Chrysoberyl family. It is among the vital stones suggested by Vedic astrologers. In Vedic astrology, Cat’s Eye in Hindi is also called Lehsunia, or Vaiduria. This gemstone represents Ketu and is therefore meant to either strengthen or pacify the effects of ketu in one’s horoscope.

Meaning of Cat’s Eye

This gem is primarily a mineral oxide from the family mentioned above. Scientifically, this gemstone is known as Cymophane. Appearing translucent yellow chatoyant, it is known majorly because it has a distinct feature, Chatoyancy. This feature makes it possible for us to see a green band of silky light running through this gemstone. This unique phenomenon reflected in Cat’s Eye is called Milk and Honey Effect. On the naked eyes, this appears to give a glow of sharp milky appearance running through a background that looks like the translucent honey.
