Cat’s Eye (Lehsunia) Stone Price in India 2026 — Per Ratti Rate
What certified natural Cat’s Eye actually costs per ratti — the real GemsMantra price band, what drives the rate, and how to buy a genuine stone.
Cat’s Eye price today at GemsMantra
These are our own current and recent store prices for natural Cat’s Eye (Lehsuniya). Every stone is priced by its actual weight and quality, so the “per ratti” rate you pay reflects the individual piece, not a flat market figure. As a rule of thumb, 1 ratti ≈ 0.91 carat, so a 5.32-carat stone is roughly 5.9 ratti. The From price is the stone with basic energisation; the Up to price includes a full Prana Pratishtha pooja add-on.

What decides the price of a Cat’s Eye
Two Cat’s Eyes of the same weight can differ widely in price. The single biggest factor is the chatoyancy — the crisp band of light that gives the stone its name. Beyond that, variety and certification matter most.
| Factor | Lowers the price | Raises the price |
|---|---|---|
| The “eye” (chatoyancy) | Faint, off-centre, blurred band | Sharp, silvery, centred band that glides as you turn it |
| Variety | Quartz Cat’s Eye (the affordable, widely-available type) | Chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye / Vaidurya (rarer and considerably costlier) |
| Colour | Dull grey-green | Honey, golden-green or apple-green; the classic “milk-and-honey” look |
| Clarity & cut | Included, dull surface | Translucent body, clean high-dome polish |
| Weight | Smaller pieces | Larger stones usually cost more per ratti |
| Certification | Uncertified | Government-recognised / ISO-certified lab report |
Because chrysoberyl Cat’s Eye is far rarer than quartz Cat’s Eye, the two sit at very different price points — always check which variety a listing describes. GemsMantra’s current Cat’s Eye stock is natural quartz Cat’s Eye, a genuine, budget-friendly option, each sold with a lab report.
Who wears Cat’s Eye, as per Vedic tradition
Cat’s Eye (Lehsunia / Vaidurya) is traditionally the gemstone of Ketu, the south lunar node. In Vedic belief it is associated with focus, intuition, protection from unseen troubles and spiritual growth, and is most often considered during a favourable Ketu mahadasha or antardasha. These are traditional beliefs, not medical or guaranteed outcomes.
Benefits as per Vedic tradition
In classical Vedic astrology, Cat’s Eye is worn to strengthen a well-placed Ketu or to steady a troublesome one. Traditionally it is linked with steadiness of mind, protection on journeys, and support during unpredictable phases of life. None of this is a cure for any illness or a promise of wealth, marriage, health or any specific result — suitability must be judged from the full birth chart.
If you want to know whether Ketu is favourable for you before buying, start with our free gemstone calculator or read the planet-wise guide on the Gemstone by Planet (Navagraha) pillar page. For a deeper view of stone meanings, see gemstone benefits & meanings.
Kis rashi ke liye — which sign / planet
Because Cat’s Eye belongs to Ketu (a shadow planet, not a rashi lord), it is prescribed from Ketu’s placement and dasha rather than by moon-sign alone. In practice an astrologer looks at where Ketu sits in your chart and whether its period is running, then advises the right variety and weight. Rather than assuming it suits your rashi, confirm with a personal consultation (₹499) or the free calculator.
