Introduction
Cat’s Eye, or Lehsunia, is the gemstone of Ketu — the shadow planet in Vedic astrology. Known for its mystical chatoyant effect (the “eye”), Lehsunia is a powerful gem for protection, intuition, and spiritual growth. Wearing Cat’s Eye helps stabilize life during challenging periods and enhances mental clarity.
Many buyers ask: Can I buy a natural, untreated Cat’s Eye within ₹50,000 that is astrologically effective?
At PreciousCarats, the answer is yes. Through our Sacred Essentials Collection, we curate certified, untreated Cat’s Eye gemstones under ₹50,000 — potent, safe, and transparent.
1. Why Cat’s Eye Matters
Ketu governs spiritual growth, detachment, and intuition. Wearing a Cat’s Eye is believed to:
-
Protect from accidents, negativity, and sudden shocks
-
Improve decision-making and focus
-
Bring spiritual awareness and peace of mind
-
Support career and business stability
For Ketu’s energy to align correctly, the stone must be natural and untreated — synthetic or dyed stones are ineffective.
2. Is ₹50,000 Enough?
Yes — Cat’s Eye is one of the most accessible Navratna gems in this budget.
-
High-quality natural Cat’s Eye of 3–7 carats can be obtained under ₹50,000.
-
Avoid artificial, dyed, or glass-filled stones — they do not carry Ketu’s energy.

4. What ₹50,000 Can Buy
Budget Band | Carat Range | Origin | Treatment | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
₹10,000–₹20,000 | 3–4 carats | Sri Lanka | Untreated | Light brown with visible “eye” line |
₹20,000–₹35,000 | 4–6 carats | Sri Lanka / India | Untreated | Balanced greenish-brown, strong chatoyancy |
