Known for its mysterious and captivating optical effect called chatoyancy, Cat’s Eye, or Lehsunia, is a powerful gemstone in Vedic astrology. It is associated with Ketu, the shadow planet symbolizing spiritual insight, liberation, and karmic lessons.

Origins of Cat’s Eye
Cat’s Eye is a variety of Chrysoberyl that exhibits a glowing, narrow band of light across the surface, resembling a cat’s eye. This unique effect is caused by needle-like inclusions inside the stone.

Brazil, India, and Tanzania: Also important suppliers.
