Vaidurya or Cat's Eye is the name given to the variety of chrysoberyl which beautifully displays chatoyancy, the phenomenon caused by the collection of needle-like rutile inclusions and the domed shape of the cabuchon cut. Cat's eyes are always cut in cabachons to emphasise the eye effect.
Vaidurya or Cat's Eye harmonizes Ketu which is traditionally known as the "tail of the dragon." In Jyotish, Ketu is the descending node of Chandra (Moon). Its influences are similar to Mangal or Mars and include liberation, abstract thinking, asceticism, non-attachment, healing, moksha (enlightenment), wisdom and that which is hidden.
Ketu's influence in the physiology is represented by the tail of the caudate. Its influence is over learning and emotions.

"For two weeks before wearing my new emerald I'd been seeking financial support for an important project. The very day I put on my new ring the full amount I needed came in the most spontaneous and effortless way. Support was also there to fulfil all other requirements for the project. It has been the most exhilarating experience of my life.
Dr. Deborah Hankey, New Zealand
