What is Cat Eye Stone | Ketu Mahadasha Remedies

Natural Chrysoberyl Cats eye sterling silver pendant

Cat’s eye gemstone is by far one of the most amazing precious gemstone. Cats-eye chrysoberyl is a phenomenal gemstone whose appearance is very special in itself. Alongside, the amazing planetary powers make it a very special gemstone indeed.

What is Cats eye gemstone

Cat’s eye gemstone or cat eye gemstone as it is called by the layman is a mineral gemstone of the species beryl. The precious cats-eye gem is called ‘cats-eye Chrysoberyl’. Cat’s-eye is just the common referring term for the phenomenon of chatoyancy where moving the gem under a source of light gives the appearance similar to opening and closing of a cat’s eye.

Ethical requirement of the trade is that all other gemstones displaying chatoyancy must qualify the word cats eye with the variety of the mineral. For instance, cat’s eye quartz (which displays chatoyancy but costs much lesser than cats-eye Chrysoberyl).

Ketu Dasha Remedy

Cat’s eye chrysoberyl is also known as Lehsunia or Vaidurya in Hindi and is understood to be a repository of the planetary powers of mystical planet Ketu which is also known as the South Node of the Moon.

The Ketu Mahadasha is a period of 7-years and Ketu Antardasha within any other Mahadasha is a period period proportionate to the dasha that is in operation. Since Ketu is a planet that is completely mystical, it’s planetary period may bring situations that are very confusing and difficulties of a very different nature.

This period can be tough on the mind as the existing paradigms of the world around and reality, as the individual understands it is challenged! It may require a great deal of balance and emotional strength to cope up with the turmoil and movement brought about by the dervish.

Wearing a cat’s eye Chrysoberyl gemstone that has been energised properly with mantras, proves very effective as a remedy for Ketu Mahadasha or Ketu Antardasha and brings much relief to the individual. Since cats eye gemstone is a gemstone with intense energy, the horoscope of the individual going the Ketu Mahadasha or Ketu Antardasha must be carefully analysed to determine suitability of the cat’s-eye stone.

The more numerous the silk or inclusions, the sharper the chatoyant band would be. The effect is enhanced when the gem is cut like a cabochon, with the under surface left rather rough to allow maximum display on the surface.

Comments	Natural gemstones have inner, unadulterated energy that makes them very potent tools for Planetary Gem Therapy. Formed naturally due to several geological changes over several hundred million years, these gems have cosmic energy accumulated over eons, residing in them. Just as much is enough to consider the epic proportions in which this energy can profoundly affect human life.http://youtu.be/sDXCcm_v6dU

Featured today is a natural chrysoberyl cat’s eye of 3.79 carats. The oval cut cabochon cat’s eye gemstone from Brazil has a nice greenish yellow color, sharp chatoyancy and translucence – the hallmarks of a good cat’s eye. The gemstone has been set in sterling silver as a cat’s eye Ketu Talisman.

Chrysoberyl Cat’s eye is a fairly hard stone that is 8.5 on the Moh’s Scale of hardness. Cat’s eye is found in the Metamorphic rocks, Pegmatites, which are very coarse-grained igneous rocks, usually granite, that form from water-rich magmas. They are important sources of gem material and crystal specimens. The San Diego Natural History Museum describes such gem formation in Pegmatites very simply and clearly – Picture granite as a mass of hot molten material (magma) below the surface of the earth, cooling slowly into solid rock. If part of the magma contains a lot of water, it will hold more dissolved minerals, and it will cool even more slowly than the surrounding granite. The effect of this very slow cooling of mineral-rich magma is the formation of pockets of large crystals within the granitic rock, commonly found with all the crystals pointing inward. These bodies of rock within a granite mass with large crystals are called pegmatites. Most of the spectacular crystal-producing areas in the world, including Minas Gerais (Brazil), Sri Lanka and San Diego County, are pegmatite areas.

chrysoberyl-mineral Image – Collecting-Rocks-and-Minerals.com

Most of the Cat’s eye gem traded however is found in the placer deposits also – gravely river basins where it finds its way because of its heaviness. The heavier minerals after getting freed from their matrix upon weathering, get concentrated at the bottom of stream, beach, and gravels. The earliest and simpler mining and finding of gems started with scouring through such deposits.

Cat’s eye also known as Vaidurya/ lehsunia/ Bidalaksh is the gem of the South Node of the Moon or Ketu. The phenomenal gemstone is a fast acting gem and is used in a talisman to harness saatvik energies of Ketu, restore semblance, focus and direction in the life of the wearer.

New Lot of Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye from Srilanka – Zephyr 2012

May 26, 2012 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

New Lot of Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye from Srilanka – Zephyr 2012

Zephyr 2012 – – new lot of Srilankan cat’s eye gem

In deference to the mystical planet Ketu or the South Node of the Moon, the new lot of natural, treatment free Chrysoberyl cat’s eye gem from Srilanka has been named Zephyr 2012. Zephyr, like this ethereal mystical planet itself.

Cat’s eye is also known as Lehsuniya/ Vaidurya/ bidalaksh or Sutra mani and set in a talisman is used to harness the energies of Ketu. Superior cat’s eye gem is a phenomenal gem that is translucent and displays chatoyancy – where a band of light is visible across the surface of the gem when light falls on it. This straight band of light gives it an appearance similar to that of a feline’s eye.

All the planetary gems at Gemstoneuniverse are assessed for doshas mentioned in the sacred texts. They are approved and made available only when they pass muster.

One thing that almost always raises a question from the patrons is about the rough underside of the cat’s eye gem. Being a cabochon (highly polished, domed upper surface) gem and then alongside being a phenomenal gem(displaying the phenomenon of chatoyancy), there is a danger of this gem losing its special chatoyant effect in the process of being cut, formed or finished to complete aesthetic proportions. Therefore, in most cases you will find that the underside of the cat’s eye is left rather crude or unfinished.

So when you see a cat’s eye with rough surface on the underside, drop your doubts and go ahead with complete confidence, so long as you are provided the gem certification for authenticity.

All chrysoberyl cat’s eye gems in the new lot Zephyr 2012 –

-Are natural and treatment free

-Free of doshas mentioned in the sacred texts

– Have a light pleasing color – golden yellow to green gold shades

– Are translucent

– Have spectacular chatoyancy
