Cat's Eye gets its name from the unique optical phenomenon called chatoyancy - a moving line of light that resembles a cat's pupil. This effect occurs due to parallel needle-like inclusions within the stone.
When light hits the stone, it reflects off these inclusions creating a bright line that moves as the stone is rotated. The sharper and more centered the line, the more valuable the stone.
Ketu rules moksha (liberation). Cat's Eye deepens meditation, intuition, and spiritual practices.
Strong protective stone. Guards against accidents, mishaps, and sudden misfortunes.
Protects from secret enemies, conspiracies, evil eye, and black magic attacks.
Ketu represents past life karma. Cat's Eye helps resolve karmic debts and patterns.
Helps with mysterious illnesses, nerve disorders, paralysis, and skin diseases caused by Ketu.
Like Rahu, Ketu can bring sudden gains. Cat's Eye helps with gambling, lotteries, and speculative gains.

Honey-yellow, apple-green, or brownish-yellow preferred. Should be uniform. Avoid dull or patchy colors.
Ceylon (Sri Lanka) most valuable. Brazilian and Indian also good. Translucent to semi-translucent preferred.
