Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl Lehsunia Gemstone Astrological Benefits
Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl gemstone known also as Vaidurya, Ketu Ratna, Sutra Mani in Sanskrit, or Lehsunia in Hindi, according to Vedic astrology, is the primary gem for Ketu, which is not a planet, rather an occurrence in the celestial sky, a mathematical point of intersection of Moon's and Sun's paths. Together with Rahu, they are called "shadowy planets". Generally, a cat's eye is beneficial for Scorpio, Pisces and Sagittarius lagnas (ascendants). And it is generally worn when Ketu's major period or sub period is operating. Ketu cosmic color is infrared, and it is under the Water element. Its number is 7. It is recognized in all ancient cultures as powerful talisman that can direct fortune.

Like the eye of a cat or a panther, cat's eye chrysoberyl seems almost supernatural in origin. How could something so feline be mineral and not animal? Cat's-eye is a variety of chrysoberyl, which has a distinct band of light across its face, which sweeps from side to side. This phenomenon is called chatoyancy. Cat's eye is always cut en cabochon.
Its chemical formula is Al2(BeO4) or Beryllium Aluminum Oxide. Its high hardness is 8.5, which makes it an excellent choice for a ring to be worn daily. It ranges from a greenish yellow to apple green, brownish yellow to yellowish brown, to "coffee" brown.
For astrological, Vedic use, an appropriate Cat's Eye can be worn in a ring or pendant. It can be set either in white or yellow gold. The stone will need to barely touch the wearer's skin. Therefore, the jewelry setting should be open below the stone.
Cat's Eye should be worn first on a Tuesday, before sunrise. If set in a ring, it should be worn on the middle finger of the right hand for males, left hand for females.
