ABOUT THIS GEMSTONE
Cat’s Eye(लहसुनिया) · Ketu, the descending lunar node
What this gemstone is
The cat’s-eye(लहसुनिया) effect is a bright band of reflected light, called chatoyancy. It can occur in several gem materials. Chrysoberyl cat’s eye(लहसुनिया) is a particular material, while quartz and other cat’s-eye(लहसुनिया) stones should be identified by their own names.
Traditional associations
In traditional Navagraha gemstone practice, chrysoberyl cat’s eye(लहसुनिया) is associated with Ketu, a lunar node. A similar-looking optical effect in another material does not automatically make it the same gemstone.
Personal guidance
If you would like a chart-based recommendation, share your date of birth, birth time, birthplace, and the questions you wish to discuss. Mention any uncertainty in the birth time. Astrological associations are matters of tradition and belief, not evidence that a gemstone changes health or life outcomes.
Wearing traditions
Suggested days, metals, settings, and fingers vary by practitioner and tradition. Discuss any ritual you wish to follow rather than treating a general guide as a personal prescription. A jeweller can check comfort, fit, and setting security. Optional religious observance should be kept separate from the material’s care requirements; prolonged soaking in milk or other liquids is not a universal preparation step.
Care and handling
Care depends on the material, its treatments, and its setting. Confirm the actual identity before selecting a cleaning method, and protect the polished surface from impacts and abrasion.
Before you buy
Ask which mineral the item contains and whether the eye effect is natural or an imitation. Avoid promises of protection from enemies, supernatural harm, anxiety, or disease.
Confirm the exact item, total price, metal details where applicable, availability, delivery estimate, and applicable return terms before ordering. Request any available laboratory report and check that its details match the item; this website guide does not certify a particular stone.
