Cat’s Eye लहसुनिया 13.70 CT

This natural cat’s eye weighs 13.70 carat and comes from India. The body colour is a smoky grey and across it runs the single bright line that gives the gem its name. Quality is graded AAA which here means the eye is sharp straight and centred rather than broken or wandering. The stone is fully natural with no treatment of any kind.

How to judge the eye

The line you see is caused by thousands of parallel needle like inclusions reflecting light back as one band. A good eye should open and close cleanly as you rock the stone under a single light source. Sharpness matters far more than size in this gem which is why a well cut oval cabochon of this weight is worth looking at closely.

Astrological significance of लहसुनिया

Cat’s eye is the gemstone of Ketu. Tradition sets it in silver or panchdhatu and places it on the middle finger worn on a Tuesday or Saturday evening. It is associated with protection from sudden setbacks and with clarity during unsettled phases. Please treat this as traditional belief rather than a promise.

Care advice

Chrysoberyl cat’s eye is hard and stands up to daily wear well. Clean it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Keep the dome free of oil and dust because a dull surface weakens the eye and that is the whole point of the stone.
