 Like any other jewellry, the cat’s eye mineral is odinary
semiprecious stone widely used as a charm that is also believed to protect the owner
from the evil eye, first of all, and from many other troubles in the everyday life.
The gem is thought to apply its capacities and features individually. The cat’s
eye is the gem of the crystal family of the brown, green or yellow-green color.
This mineral is attractive and eye-catching owing to the chatoyant stripe which
is mostly visible when cabochon faceted when the stone is really like a cat eye,
screwing up and cunningly winking. The
effect of the cat’s eye is supposed to be related to the concurrent setting of
the various vacuums inside the stone, ultrafine cracks and inclusions of
various light needle-shaped and fiber minerals.
When the cabochon is made in the manner to place the fibers
of the stone in the parallel to it longest axis, the effect of the cat’s eye
occurs then, when the rainbow stripe passes through the axis of the gem.
This «cat’s eye» of the mineral was the reason why the stone
to be attributed all cats’ features from the old times. They believed that the stone
was able to «see» in the darkness, the same as a cat (by the way, a cat is not
able to see in the absolute darkness, the same as the cat’s eye stone). The
cats are known to heal many diseases of their owners and a sick person is
enough to take a cat in hands, caress it and it starts purring. This feature
was also attributing to the cat’s eye mineral. The stone does not need caressing,
it cannot purr, but it is thought to heal the paralysis (especially postinsult paralysis),
various blood diseases, insomnia, arthritis, diseases of joints and spinal
cord, chronic tonsillitis, and
inflammations of the bone tissue. The mineral is further thought to help the
owner in healing of other diseases since it makes the medical therapy far more
effective. Also the cat’s eye lowers the blood pressure, helps to heal the
psoriasis, cordial weakness, inflammation of the middle ear, chronic
depression, dysfunction of the urogenital system and schizophrenia, in the
opinion of lithotherapeutists. The mineral relieves the fatigue and irritation

Moreover, the cat’s eye protects the owner from thefts and betrayal;
it is thought that unfaithfulness is not a problem if you wear the jewelry with
the cat’s eye. It is also said that
The cat’s eye cares for from any property losses and
facilitates winning at gambling.
By the ancient legend, the extract of invisibility is easy to
cook. For this purpose, you need to find a night-black cat without a single
spot and ….cook it. You need to cook it for
a long time within several days following ritual magic procedures until you have
a homogeneous jelly. Then the bones are taken from the broth and the invisible
bone is also there. If you are lucky to find it, you will have the change to
stay invisible.
This legend is likely to pass the feature to get invisible from
the bones of the black cat to the mineral and it is believed to protect the
owner in battles making it invisible and safe.
As a charm, the cat’s eye is especially required for people who
find it difficult to make serious decisions and who are not given to give up,
even if it is known that the decisions are wrong. The point is that the cat’s eye
adds somewhat wisdom and prudence which helps to take a right decisions and
action.
The cat’s eye is considered to increase the insight and
provides the chance to see the future since it sharpens the intuition.
The cat’s eye is especially good when trimmed in silver rather
than in gold or other metals, since the tender cunning and soothingly brilliant
stone looks perfect rounded with silver laces.
