Buy Cat’s Eye Stone (Lehsunia / Ketu Stone) Online in Dubai

Cat’s Eye, known as Lehsunia in Hindi and Vaidurya in Sanskrit, is one of the fastest-acting and most powerful gemstones in Vedic astrology. It is governed by Ketu, the South Node of the Moon. This extraordinary stone is admired for its dramatic optical effect, where a sharp glowing band of light moves across the surface like a feline eye tracking its prey.

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. At N Gopaldaas, natural Cat’s Eye stones range from AED 800 for smaller stones to AED 12,000 or more for premium Ceylon stones with sharp and centered chatoyancy and vibrant colour.

Key price factors include:

• Sharpness of the eye: A well-defined and centered band significantly increases value. A blurry or off-center eye reduces both quality and price.

• Body colour: Honey yellow and apple green are the most desirable. Dark or dull colours are less valuable.

• Transparency: Semi-transparent stones with clarity show a stronger eye effect. Cloudy stones appear weaker.

• Origin: Sri Lankan stones are the most valued. Brazilian stones are more commonly available.

• Carat weight: Vedic astrologers usually recommend 5 to 7 carats minimum.

All stones are priced transparently in AED, and gemological certificates are available on request.

Cat’s Eye vs Imitations – Buying Guide for UAE

Cat’s Eye is one of the most imitated gemstones in the UAE and Indian markets. Many buyers unknowingly purchase Quartz Cat’s Eye, Sillimanite, or even glass.

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.
