The magical properties of a cat's eye

Cat's eye jewelry

In Ancient India, for example, there were legends according to which a person who has achieved harmony with a gem learns to understand the language of animals.

According to medieval beliefs, the mineral warded off death from the wearer. Such beliefs arose due to the association with the cat, which has nine lives.

For nobles who left Russia after the revolution and civil war, the cat crystal helped them survive the hardships of the break with their homeland.

The talisman acts somewhat differently on members of the opposite sex, emphasizing the desired qualities. Men acquire strength of character, courage and perseverance. Women are charm, mystery and enchantment.

Psychics of our day call the following magical properties of the cat's eye:

• He is able to ward off trouble, rid the wearer of the evil eye and damage. Warning the wearer about danger, the talisman becomes heavier.

Although the cat's eye was used for black magic in the Middle Ages, now psychics do not advise doing so. The gem is very energetically susceptible, so the evil that the wearer emits can infect the crystal and return to the owner.

Ring with a cat's eye stone
The cat's eye stone has been considered magically powerful for centuries and was worn as an amulet that protects against dark forces. Not much has changed today.

Ojos Azules

Scientists did not spend a single second to create this breed; nature did everything for them. Today, the breed is quite rare, so much so that even in its homeland (New Mexico) it is difficult to meet such a cat, since there are only a few dozen of them left in the whole world. The main feature of pets is their eye color; they are often deep or dark blue; this is an incredibly beautiful sight, one might say, even slightly hypnotic.

Cats themselves can be either medium or large in size and are characterized by a slender and muscular build. Representatives of this breed have a very pleasant character, they are friendly to people from birth. Active, playful and cheerful, you definitely won’t get bored with them. Apart from this, they are smart and have a well-developed intellect. This cat gets along well with children and pets, but still should not be left unattended.

How to distinguish an original from a fake

Cat's eye (imitation) sew-on cabochon 25x10x4 mm bright green
You cannot buy a real cat's eye in the gem markets and in a cheap base frame, its cost is too high. It can only be purchased in a specialized store, with all the documentation, which will indicate whether it has been processed in any way.

1. The mineral is very hard, leaves scratches on the glass, and only a diamond or ruby ​​can leave a mark on it. This quality is one of the criteria for verifying the authenticity of a gem.
2. The second way to distinguish a fake from a natural stone is to place it in a dark place. Amazingly, a true cat's eye will begin to emit a faint glow, similar to the flickering of a cat's pupil in the darkness.
3. The third sign of natural chrysoberyl is its natural shine, which is visible to the naked eye. And if you wipe the stone with a soft cloth, it will sparkle even brighter.
4. The fourth method is the speed of warming the stone in your hand. The natural one will remain cool for a long time, and the synthetic one will heat up quickly.
5. The fifth way is to observe whether the strip of light moves when the stone rotates. A real stone has a static stripe.

Important!

Natural cymophane is almost never used in earrings, because it is very difficult to find two stones with similar patterns. Beads from these stones are also created in isolated cases: the stone is quite heavy and very expensive, its cost is comparable to ruby, diamond, and sapphire.

Himalayan cats

This is a breed of long-haired cats with a fairly thick coat. They are sociable, friendly and inquisitive, they get very used to people, they also love attention to their person, but at the same time they are comfortable being alone. By nature, they are not the most active, preferring peace and quiet, so they are great for people with a similar lifestyle, but for active people this is not the best option. The body of representatives of this breed is round in shape, the paws are not long. Unlike the previous ones, these cats have excellent health and rarely get sick.

Artificial cat's eye stone

The catsite material (that is, a segment of a cat's eye) and the production method were developed in the USA. The cat's eye mineral is colored fiber optic glass. Small specimens are transparent, large ones are cloudy.

The price of a natural one is comparable to a diamond, sometimes exceeding it. Depends on the mass, the degree of purity of the material and the brightness of the glare. For example, cut stone inserts weighing 3–5 carats have a price of $30–100 per carat.

Siamese cat

This is one of the most famous and sought-after breeds in the whole world, as well as one of the most ancient. Previously, they were revered as sacred and they believed that such a cat was a powerful amulet against everything bad, namely evil spirits, the belief in which scared people to death.

Cats of this breed are distinguished by their athletic build; they are slender and muscular, while being elegant, graceful and graceful. They can also boast of their coat; their coat, although short, is incredibly silky and soft.

Such cats need a lot of space, because they love to have fun and literally turn over everything they see on their way. They are also not the quietest pets; they have a loud and deep voice, with which they will not miss the opportunity to attract attention in this way.

How to care for stone

We take care of it carefully. No chemical household products, ultrasonic or steam cleaning.

Wash the baby soap in warm water and carefully clean the dirty jewelry. Rinse thoroughly with clean water - soap residue on the stone will damage the decoration aesthetically and damage you personally as a good housewife.

Due to its piezoelectric properties, the stone attracts dust. Store the jewelry in a closed box, bag, or casket.

Important!

Keep the “decoration house” away from the computer, TV, and microwave.

The hardness of almost all gems with iridescence is quite high. It is difficult to scratch it.

Where is it used?

All kinds of jewelry are made from the stone, which can be worn one at a time or in different combinations: earrings, rings, rosaries, cameos, cufflinks, necklaces, bracelets, pendants. It is also used in the production of souvenirs and amulets. The mineral very quickly tunes into the energy of the owner, establishes contact with him and becomes his third eye.
