What Determines the Price of the Cat’s Eye Gemstone?




The Cat’s Eye Gemstone is considered as the stone for the most intimidating, havoc, creating planet, Ketu, in Vedic astrology. This certified gemstone is worn to regain lost wealth, social reputation, spiritual awareness, and self-control.

What is so unique about the Cat’s Eye Gemstone? 


•The price of a Certified Cat’s Eye Gemstone is primarily dependent on the color of the gemstone. The gemstone having honey and milk effect, golden green, yellow with a greenish tinge have a higher price than the brown, grey or smoky in appearance.

• The crystal color should be uniform all over. The transparent stones are costlier than the opaque stones.

•The price of the Cat’s Eye Gemstone is profoundly affected by the presence of two shades in the crystal.

•Another distinguishable feature of the Cat's Eye is the silver band in between the crystal which has the illusion of closing eye of a cat. This feature is known as Chatoyancy. The price is affected by the silver band which should be well in the center, sturdy, clear of any spots.  If there are any disruptions in the center silver band, the price goes down comparatively.

•Transparent cat’s eye gemstones are usually higher in terms of price than the opaque stone available.

•The gems that have been treated in the laboratory have a lesser value than the untreated natural gemstones. The cat's eye stone which has undergone a radiation treatment cost lesser than that of the untreated ones.

Buying Certified Cat’s Eye Gemstone


While purchasing the Natural Cat’s Eye Gemstone, the higher priced stones are free of any blemishes and defects as per the Vedic scriptures. Certified Cat’s Eye Gemstone is tested using Raman Spectroscopy to check whether it is free of radiation treatment.  The color of the stone is a beautiful shade of greenish yellow to green and having the signature milk and honey effect. The lesser priced synthesized Cat’s Eye will not have all the features in a single crystal. So, the difference between the prices of the two varieties of stones is evident.
