About the stone

What is Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl?

Cat's eye chrysoberyl contains fine parallel needles that create a sharp band of light across a cabochon, like a cat's eye. It is also called cymophane.

In India it is known as Lehsunia, one of the navaratna stones; Sri Lanka and India (Odisha, Kerala) are important sources.

Care & cleaning

Clean with lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush, then dry with a soft cloth. Store apart from softer stones to avoid scratches.
