Cat's
Eye
Cat's-eye is a gemstone that comes from the gem mineral chrysoberyl. The cat's
eye is the gemstone of the planet Ketu and helps to overcome problems related
to this planet.
Cat's eye is an aluminate of beryllium having traces of
oxide of iron and chromium, which serve as coloring
agents and give it brownish and greenish tinges. The
chrysoberyl mineral produces three types of gems :
1. Alexandrite
2. Cat's-eye
3. Chrysolite
Some Qualities of a Good Cat's-Eye
1. smoothness
2. brilliance of chatoyance
3. high specific gravity - heavier than average stone of the same size
4. having three streaks of light, similar to the sacred thread worn by Brahmins
in India
5. straightness of the chatoyance
Cat's eye is found in yellow, black, dark or smoky-green, and white. The only
thing common to all shades is the band of light moving across the stone, the
chatoyance. A gem having a white band of light is supposed to be best. Cat'seye shines like the eye of a cat in darkness, but it does not shine in total
darkness.
Some Flaws of a Cat's-Eye
1. dullness - the cat's-eye that is not brilliant and is shining and flimsy is
injurious for physical health and personal wealth
2. crack inside the gemstone - brings injuries from sharp-edged weapons
3. cobweb inside the gemstone - brings imprisonment and is harmful for the
wearer
