Cat's eye

The term Cat's Eye refers to a rare optical effect (chatoyancy) that appears in certain stones, the most famous being the Chrysoberyl Cat's Eye (or Cymophane). It is the latter that is generally referred to as the reference in lithotherapy.

It is a stone of protection and intuition, renowned for its resemblance to a feline's eye.

Associated Chakras

Cat's Eye is primarily linked to the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) and the Third Eye Chakra (Ajna).

Self-Confidence and Courage: It strengthens self-control, confidence, and self-assurance. It brings the strength and courage necessary to overcome fears, anxieties, and life's obstacles.

Emotional Stability: It helps to release stress and anxiety, promoting letting go and a state of deep serenity and emotional balance.

Mental Clarity: It stimulates intelligence and creativity, helping one to be more rigorous, precise, and focused on their goals.

3. Physical Plane (traditional)

Vision: As its name suggests, it is traditionally used to prevent or reduce vision problems and strengthen nocturnal visual acuity.
