Detailed Product Description
Natural Cat's Eye (Lahsuniya) Bead Bracelet (8mm Beads)
This Natural Cat's Eye (Lahsuniya) Bead Bracelet is crafted from calibrated 8mm spherical beads of natural chatoyant quartz. Known traditionally across Vedic literature and Indian gemstone trade as Lahsuniya (Lehsunia), each bead displays the mesmerizing optical phenomenon known as chatoyancy (the "cat's eye" effect), produced by parallel microscopic fibrous mineral inclusions that reflect light as a bright, mobile slit across the curved surface of the bead.
Gemological Transparency: This bracelet is made of Natural Quartz Cat's Eye (Lahsuniya), with a Mohs hardness of 7.0 and a specific gravity of ~2.65. It is distinct from rare and far more costly chrysoberyl cat's eye (which has a Mohs hardness of 8.5). Natural quartz Lahsuniya is an authentic, durable natural gemstone that offers striking chatoyant optics and excellent everyday resilience at an accessible value.
In traditional Vedic gemology, Cat's Eye (Lahsuniya) is associated with the shadow planet Ketu and has historically been worn as a symbol of discipline, discernment, and spiritual focus. These traditional astrological associations represent cultural heritage and should be appreciated as personal expressions rather than guaranteed remedies for life challenges or planetary doshas.
Care instructions: Roll onto your wrist smoothly. Avoid exposure to harsh cleaning acids, solvents, and hot showers. Clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, and store flat in a soft pouch.
