This is considered a stone with a spiritual emphasis. It "is good for promoting psychic and spiritual perception. Cat's-eye is a good nervine stimulant and is helpful for mental disorders. It is the gemstone of seers and astrologers."(1) In India, where it is highly valued, it is believed to bring the wearer material wealth as well as preventing its loss. The suggested minimum weight for these gemstones is 2 carats.
All gemstones are selected with the aim to provide the greatest benefits. The stones are as internally and externally free from inclusions and blemishes as possible. The principle here is that the larger and "cleaner" the stone, the better the results. (1)Ayurvedic Healing by Dr. David Frawley
