Quartz Cat’s Eye has good hardness for jewellery use, but it should still be protected from sharp impact and rough wear.

Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaning, and steam cleaning when the treatment status or jewellery setting is uncertain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. This Quartz Cat’s Eye (Lahsuniya) 5.28 Carat (5.80 Ratti) Cabochon is Natural Quartz Cat’s Eye, also known as Lahsuniya or Lehsunia in India. Quartz Cat’s Eye and Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye can both show a cat’s-eye band, but they are different gem materials with different physical properties and value ranges. This product should be understood as quartz, not chrysoberyl.
Cat’s Eye, known as Lahsuniya or Lehsunia, is traditionally associated with Ketu in many Vedic astrology practices. Quartz Cat’s Eye may be considered for Ketu-related astrological use when the buyer specifically wants quartz material and the stone is recommended by a qualified astrologer. Astrological results should not be promised.
In Vedic belief, Cat’s Eye or Lahsuniya is connected with Ketu and is traditionally chosen for spiritual focus, detachment, protection-related symbolism, and Ketu-related remedies. It should be worn carefully and only after horoscope-based guidance, especially by buyers considering it for Ketu dosha, Ketu Mahadasha, or other Ketu-related purposes.
Check that the material is clearly written as Quartz Cat’s Eye, not just Cat’s Eye, and review the carat and ratti weight, dimensions, colour, cabochon shape, visible cat’s-eye band, treatment status if provided, photos, and video. Avoid unclear listings that may confuse quartz with chrysoberyl, fibre-optic glass, synthetic material, or imitation cat’s eye.
The Cat’s Eye band is an optical effect called chatoyancy, caused by light reflecting from aligned internal fibres, tubes, or inclusions in a cabochon-cut stone. The band can look sharper, softer, brighter, or more diffused depending on the light source, camera angle, stone orientation, and viewing distance, so photos and video should both be checked before choosing.
