Indian Cat’s Eye Stone
The Indian Cat’s Eye stone, primarily popular as Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye, is a highly prized and astrologically significant gemstone renowned for its chatoyancy effect—a shimmering band of light resembling a cat’s eye, caused by parallel fibrous or needle-like inclusions, typically rutile. Mined in regions like Orissa, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, Indian Lehsunia stone has a chemical composition of BeAl2O4 (beryllium aluminate) and a Mohs hardness of 8.5, ensuring excellent durability.
Natural Indian cat’s eye gemstone, aka ketu stone, color ranges from honey-yellow to greenish-yellow or brownish-green, with a refractive index of 1.74-1.75 and specific gravity of 3.68-3.78. In the domain of Vedic astrology, Cat’s Eye is associated with the planet Ketu and is vehemently believed to enhance intuition, spiritual growth, and protection from negative energies. The quality of chatoyancy depends on the alignment and density of inclusions, with top specimens displaying a sharp, centered band.
The ketu stone is typically cut into cabochons to maximize the optical effect. Indian Vaiduryam stone may undergo no treatments, preserving its natural allure, though imitations like fiber-optic glass exist. Care involves avoiding harsh chemicals and impacts. Sourcing from certified dealers ensures authenticity, as the stone’s value hinges on clarity, color, and chatoyancy strength.
Indian Cats Eye Stone Price
The original Indian Cat's Eye stone price (also known as Lehsunia or Vaiduryam) depends on its quality, clarity, chatoyancy (the sharpness of the eye effect), cut, and carat weight. Sourced mainly from states like Karnataka, Kerala, and Orissa, high-grade natural Indian Cat's Eye with a well-defined, centered eye and silky luster can range from ₹2,000 to ₹15,000 per carat or more. Stones used in astrological jewelry, especially for wearing as rings or pendants, often influence pricing based on planetary significance. Treated or synthetic variants are available at lower prices, but natural, untreated stones with strong optical effects are rare and highly valued. Authenticity and certification are crucial for ensuring fair market value.
