In Vedic astrology, it’s linked to Ketu, believed to enhance intuition, spiritual insight, and protection from negative energies. Typically cut as cabochons to highlight the cat’s eye effect, untreated Vaiduryam stones are most valued for their natural beauty.
The Care of Chrysoberyl cats eye involves avoiding harsh chemicals and physical shocks to preserve its luster.
