Cat's Eye harmonizes Ketu which is traditionally known as the "tail of the dragon". In Jyotish, Ketu is the descending node of Chandra (Moon). It's influences are similar to Mangal or Mars and include liberation, abstract thinking, asceticism, non-attachment, healing, moksha--enlightenment, wisdom and that which is hidden. Ketu's influence in the physiology is represented by the tail of the caudate. It's influence is over learning and emotions. It's wearing removes physical weakness. Mental worries are removed. If cat's eye acts favorably, it makes one a wealthy person.

It is an aluminate of beryllium - a mixture of aluminum and beryllium - having traces of oxide of iron and chromium, which serve as coloring agents and give it brownish and greenish tinges. It has a chatoyant glowing from inside like the eye of a cat and having white fibers. The brighter the fiber, the higher is the quality of the gem. Cat's-eye has a silky streak of light that moves with the turning of the stone like a gleam in a straight line across the stone.

• High specific gravity - heavier than average stone of the same size
• Quality of mineral
• Having three streaks of light, similar to the sacred thread worn by Brahmins in India
• Smoothness
• Brilliance of chatoyance
• Straightness of the chatoyance

Cat's eye is found in many colors: yellow, black, dark or smoky-green, and white. The only thing common to all shades is the band of light moving across the stone, the chatoyance.

After rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds ( the big four ), you begin to wonder what gem would be an interesting subject to pursue. While jade, opal or garnet comes into mind, phenomenal stone provide such a different feel and look. Phenomenal stones such as cat's eyes provide "eye stimulation" in that your eye balls actually follow the movement of your fingers as the "lines" on the gem moves with your every motion. Cat's eye effect or "chatoyancy" comes from the French word "chat" or "cat" and "o'eil" or "eye". Put them together and you get "chat-o'eil" or "chatoyancy". The best chatoyant gems display an effect which duplicates the eyes of a cat. The "open" and "close" of the eye should be balanced and symmetric. The eye should be sharp and instense. The color of the eye should be distinct and not hidden by the body color. Gemstones that display a cat's eye effect are ( but not limited to) tourmalines, chrysoberyl, scapolites, tiger eye quartz, zircons ( Dr E Gubelin has mentioned that the Sri Lankan brown cat's eye zircon you see in the market could be a result of heat treatment), iolites, garnet, opal, actinolites........In actuality, cat's eye phenomena may occur with any mineral which has parallel tubes or fibrous inclusions within the gem. When cat's eye effect occur in stones which donot normally display chatoyancy, then the gem becomes doubly rare and more valuable. For example, a cat's eye ruby, cat's eye saphire, cat's eye garnet are gems not only rare but really a "one of a kind" collectors item.
