.What is Cat's Eye (Lehsunia) and its astrological benefits?

Cat's Eye, known as Lehsunia or Vaidurya in Hindi, is a chrysoberyl gemstone displaying a unique chatoyancy effect—a bright band of light resembling a cat's eye. In Vedic astrology, it's the gemstone for Ketu and is believed to protect against negative energies, enhance spiritual awareness, improve intuition, bring financial stability, and shield from accidents and hidden dangers. It's recommended for those seeking protection, spiritual growth, and relief from Ketu-related afflictions.

How do I identify a genuine Cat's Eye gemstone?

A genuine Cat's Eye displays a sharp, well-defined chatoyancy effect—a bright, moving band of light across the stone's surface. The eye should be centered, straight, and clearly visible under direct light. Quality Cat's Eye stones have good transparency, minimal inclusions, and colors ranging from honey-yellow to greenish-yellow or olive-green. All our Cat's Eye gemstones come with authenticity certificates from recognized gemological laboratories confirming they are natural chrysoberyl.

What carat weight should I choose for astrological purposes?

For astrological benefits, Cat's Eye is typically recommended in 3 to 7 carats, depending on your body weight and birth chart. A general guideline is 1/10th to 1/12th of your body weight in kilograms. For example, if you weigh 60 kg, a 5-6 carat Cat's Eye would be appropriate. However, always consult a qualified Vedic astrologer for personalized recommendations based on your horoscope and planetary positions.

How should I wear Cat's Eye for maximum astrological benefits?

According to Vedic astrology, Cat's Eye should be set in silver, gold, or panchdhatu (five-metal alloy) and worn on the middle finger of the working hand. It's traditionally worn on Wednesday or Saturday evening during Ketu Kaal after proper purification and energization rituals. The stone should touch your skin for maximum effect. Always consult your astrologer for specific wearing instructions based on your birth chart.
