Cats Eye: Chrysoberyl
“The stone of immortality and new beginnings”

by Raven
Cat’s Eye is an amulet used for protection against witchcraft and death. It is a generic term for any gems, which show a band of light across a cut cabochon stone. The eye phenomenon is caused by the presence of fiber inclusions within a gem and the term often misused in the gem trade as an adjective; stones are referred as cat’s eye tourmaline, cat’s eye quartz or cat’s eye apatite, and the proper name describes Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl or precious Cat’s Eye.







Name:

Chrysoprase was derived from the Greek word "KHRYSO PRASOS" meaning "golden green"



Scientific Properties:

Color: Golden yellow, green-yellow, green with red and brown with cat’s eye phenomenon
Hardness: 8.5
Crystal System: orthorhombic; long prismatic crystals, intergrown triplets
Fluorescence: None on green, weak on dark red
Uses: Mineral collection specimen, gemstone, ornamental use
Location: Africa, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ghana, India, Myanmar, Norway, Russia, and Zimbabwe
Associated Mineral: Beryl, Chalcedony, and Quartz



History, Myth, Legend and Lore:

Arabs – believed that Cat’s Eye Chrysoberyl had a property that caused the wearer to become invisible in battle and used as an amulet from witchcraft and death. It was also used as a test of fidelity. When a man is about to leave on a trip, he makes her drink an elixir made of milk and washed with cat’s eye. This does not make her virtuous but if she commits adultery in his absence, no child will result to burden him with her sin.


Ceylon Natives – used this rare stone as a charm against evil spirits and throughout history had been used to counteract the evil eye.


Modern Practitioners – claims an increase in night vision and favored to heal in the treatment of eye disorder.


Vedic text of India – Vala, a demon god, was slain by the demigods. When arrested and bound by his enemies, Vala gave off a thunderous war cry, which transforms into seeds of Cat’s Eye and wherever they settled formed deposits of Cat’s Eye. The finest were said to have landed near the Sri Lanka’s famous Vaidurya Hill. The gem mined in this Region is known as Vaidurya stones. The legend continues to say the remainder of the seeds was carried to the heavens to impregnate the clouds, carried to Earth by rain and comets forming smaller mines in scattered locations.




Metaphysical Use and Properties:

CHAKRA (S):
Crown and Solar Plexus
VIBRATION: Number 6
ZODIAC: Leo



Attributes:


Chrysoberyl crystallizes into hexagonal-type and tabular form of crystals and occasionally occurs in the form of a six-ray star configuration comprised of three individual crystals. The colors include shades of honey, green, red and yellow. This crystal brings compassion, forgiveness, and generosity and connects, activates, opens and aligns the Solar Plexus and the Crown Chakras, incorporates the mind into spiritual endeavor and increases spirituality and personal power. It is the stone of immortality and the stone of new beginnings, an excellent stone for creativity. It strengthens self-worth and releases outgrown energy patterns, helps you deal with stressful life and shredding unnecessary baggage, being able to see both sides of a problem or situation and use strategic planning. Chrysoberyl promotes the feeling of peace within the physical and intellectual bodies and allows one to forgive friends or family members who may have performed injustice, an excellent stone in stabilizing relationships.



Healing:

This mineral when combined with other minerals tends to enhance the energy transmittal from other stones and facilitates permanence in physical healing understanding and integrating the reasons behind the disorder; it highlights the cause of dis-ease. It supports self-healing, balances adrenalin and cholesterol, and fortifies the chest and liver. It aids the organs of elimination, increases resistance to toxins and pollutants and to ameliorate disorders of the liver, pancreas and kidneys.


ALEXANDRITE: is a crystal of contrasts, opens intuition and metaphysical abilities, creates strong will and personal magnetism. it is regenerative, builds self-respect and supports rebirth of the inner and outer self. Alexandrite centers, reinforces, and realigns the mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. This crystal brings joy, expands creativity, enhances manifestation, and stimulates imagery including dreams and the imagination. In healing it aids the nervous system, spleen, pancreas and male reproductive organs and regenerates neurological tissue. It treats non-assimilation of protein, side effects of leukemia, and relieves tension from neck muscles and has a powerful detoxifying action and stimulates the liver.


CATS EYE: has magical properties; a grounding stone but stimulates the intuition. This mineral provides protection and dispels negative energy entering the aura and brings confidence, happiness, serenity, and good luck. Cat's Eye treats disorders of the eye and improves night vision. It relieves headaches and facial pain and can be worn on the right side of the body.


CYMOPHANE: is a form of Cat's Eye that stimulates and stabilizes the intellect and supports flexibility of mind. This stone enhances unconditional love. In healing it has been used to treat intestinal disorders, heart irregularities and night-blindness and provide relief from feminine discomforts.

Raven is a Pacific Islander born and raised in the Philippines. She has a degree in Bachelor of Science and Business Administration and attended two years of graduate school. Raven lives with her husband and son in Las Vegas, Nevada. She created an e-commerce business, Raven Crystals guided with love, intuition, and the spiritual magical energy of the Raven.


Raven is a Reiki Level 3 Practitioner and a student of Quantum Touch Healing. She channels Reiki Energy daily for distant healings and practices hands on healing several times a week.


Raven became interested in healing stones when she first became a student of Reiki. She was delighted with the beauty and qualities of the stones and decided she wanted to share them with friends and family. She began purchasing stones and studying the healing properties of each stone. Her desire grew and she wanted to provide unique, rare and hard to find items, as they were the most intriguing in shape and have such radiant colors along with their extraordinary energy and healing properties.


Raven has created an e-commerce business with the intention of sending Love, Light and Peace to everyone receiving Earth’s children from the mineral kingdom. She personally selects each specimen and provides an abundance of information about each crystal and mineral on display.


Raven has created several one of a kind new age products; Raven Energy Wands, the Antahkarana Grid with crystals and minerals and several display ideas found only at Raven Crystals.
