What is Cat’s Eye Stone (Lehsunia / Vaidurya)
Cat’s Eye, or Lehsunia, is a variety of Chrysoberyl, a mineral composed of beryllium aluminium oxide (BeAl₂O₄). It displays a phenomenon called chatoyancy. This appears as a concentrated band of reflected light caused by dense parallel inclusions of rutile needles within the crystal.
When the stone is cut as a cabochon, these needle-like inclusions reflect light into a single sharp moving stripe, creating the well-known “cat’s eye” effect.
The stone often appears pale, translucent, and slightly waxy, similar to a clove of garlic held to light. In Sanskrit, it is called Vaidurya. The finest stones come from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), with additional sources in Brazil and India.
Lehsunia Price in Dubai (AED) – Cat’s Eye Stone Price Guide
Cat’s Eye stone prices in Dubai vary based on the quality of the chatoyancy effect and overall gemstone characteristics.

Cat’s Eye vs Imitations – Buying Guide for UAE

Only Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye is considered valid for astrological use.
Milk and honey test:
Under a single light source in a dark room, a genuine Chrysoberyl stone will show a clear division. One side appears milky white while the other appears golden, resembling milk and honey. Imitations show a uniform glow without this split.
