Cat’s Eye, known as Lehsuniya or Vaiduryam, is a unique gemstone representing the shadow planet Ketu. It is famous for its distinct "chatoyancy" effect—a sharp white band across the stone that resembles the slit eye of a cat.

General Information

• Planet & Zodiac: Ruled by Ketu. It is often recommended for Virgo or those seeking spiritual liberation and protection from hidden enemies.

• Physical Properties: The most potent version is Chrysoberyl, ranking 8.5 on the Mohs scale.

• Origin: The highest quality stones with the sharpest "eye" are sourced from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Brazil, and East Africa [1, 2].

• Color: Typically yellowish-green, brownish-yellow, or honey-gold with a milky white streak.

How to Wear Lehsuniya

Ketu is a karmic planet; follow these steps to ensure its energy is harnessed correctly:

1. Metal: Strictly set in Silver or Panchdhatu.

2. Finger: Wear it on the middle finger or ring finger of your working hand.

3. Weight: Usually 1/10th of your body weight (e.g., 6 carats for a 60 kg person).

4. Day & Time: Tuesday or Thursday morning during Shukla Paksha, specifically during the Brahma Muhurta (pre-dawn).

5. Purification: Cleanse the stone by dipping it in raw milk, honey, and Ganga Jal for 15 minutes.

6. Mantra: Activate it by chanting the Ketu Mantra 108 times: "Om Kem Ketave Namah".
