Vaiduryam stone, also known as cat’s eye gemstone or Lehsuniya stone, is an extremely significant astrological gemstone that captivates with its mesmerizing chatoyancy effect—a luminous band resembling a cat’s eye on the stone’s surface. Belonging to the coveted chrysoberyl mineral family, Vaiduryam or Vaidooryam stone boasts a Mohs hardness of 8.5 and is semi-opaque in nature, which makes this stone remarkably durable for stunning jewelry pieces like rings, pendants, and bracelets. Its alluring colors, ranging from golden-yellow to rich greenish-brown, are accentuated by the sharp and enigmatic chatoyant effect caused by rutile needle inclusions. Sourced from premier regions like Sri Lanka and India, our Vaiduryam stones are certified by top gemological labs such as GIA and IGI, guaranteeing authenticity and quality.
If we talk about Vedic astrology, Vaiduryam stone is linked to the shadow planet Ketu, the shadow planet associated with spirituality, detachment, intuition, and liberation. Ketu stone is also believed to enhance psychic abilities, protect against vicious negative energies, and foster spiritual growth, making it ideal for those under Ketu’s influence or Pisces and Sagittarius zodiac signs. The soothing energy of vaiduryam stone promotes immense mental clarity and emotional balance. However, it is strongly recommended to consult an experienced astrologer to maximize its benefits.
The original vaiduryam stone price depends heavily on the stone’s clarity, chatoyancy effect, carat weight, and origin. Average quality Vaiduryam stones (pale yellow-green, moderate chatoyancy, minor inclusions) are priced at INR 1,000–3,000 per carat ($12–$32), offering an accessible entry to masses of this mystical gem. Exceptional quality Vaiduryam stones (vivid golden-green, sharp chatoyant band, high clarity, untreated) range from INR 10,000–50,000 per carat ($120–$600), delivering unmatched brilliance, astrological benefits, and potency.
