Also called Lehsunia stone/ Vaiduryam stone/ Vaiduria in Hindi, the Cat’s eye is a valuable gem belonging to the chrysoberyl mineral family. It is known for its unique optical phenomenon called chatoyancy resembling the slit eye of a cat, hence the name. As per studies, the chatoyancy effect in an original cat's eye stone is the direct result of parallel fibrous or needle-like inclusions, which interact with light in such a way that appears as if a distinct line or band of light is moving across the surface of the stone. The intensity and color of the cat's eye stone effect can vary depending on the mineral composition, with the finest specimens displaying a sharp and vivid band of light.

Astrologically, the lahsuniya ratna is the physical representation of Ketu (one of the nine celestial bodies of Navagrahas). According to Vedic astrology, although Ketu (a shadow planet in the solar system) is associated with spirituality, liberation, karmic patterns, and mystical experiences, its bad influence (depending on its placement in an individual's birth chart) is responsible for creating difficult situations in one’s life. It is believed to have both positive and negative impacts (where negative influences get amplified if ketu is not placed in the right house of birth chart or if it is afflicted by enemy planets like the Sun, Moon, Mars, or Saturn).

Cat’s Eye (in grey, black, or smoky) is a crucial gemstone recommended to correct the ill-placed Ketu’s dasha which can last to 7 years, significantly lessening the number of hurdles that come your way. While the gemstone itself is well-laden with apparent boundless benefits, its astral effects are documented in Vedic astrology more efficiently than anywhere else. According to available scriptures, Ketu is responsible for various mishappenings which can be avoided if one awakens the positive side of this body.
