Hessonite stone, also known as Gomed, is a well-known variation of the Garnet gemstone family. It has a honey-colored appearance and is derived from the calcium aluminium silicate mineral group. In Hindu scriptures, Hessonite holds significant importance and is ruled by the Vedic planet, Rahu. The gemstone's name comes from the Greek term "Hesson," meaning inferior, which refers to Rahu's malefic effects. It has a Mohs hardness rating of 7 to 7.5 and is highly durable and stable.

Individuals born under the Aquarius zodiac sign are recommended to wear the Hessonite stone according to Indian or Vedic astrology, while Western astrology suggests it for those born under the Gemini sun sign. Nevertheless, people with Taurus and Libra ascendants can also wear this gemstone. It is advisable to seek the guidance of an expert astrologer to determine the most suitable finger and time to wear a Hessonite or Gomed ring to achieve the maximum benefits. It is best worn on Saturday mornings between 5 - 7 am in silver metal. The appropriate carat weight of the gemstone should be 1/10th of the wearer's body weight, for instance, a 6-carat Gomed stone can be worn by a person weighing 60 Kgs.

When to Wear Gomed?

The Hessonite stone, or Gomed, has several astrological benefits when worn. The uniform honey color of the stone counteracts the negative effects of Vedic planet Rahu, safeguarding the wearer against malevolent energies and black magic. It also provides a competitive edge and ensures victory over enemies. Wearing a Hessonite stone brings five fruits of life, including financial prosperity, meditation, and salvation. It also enhances concentration and focus, making it particularly useful for students and researchers. This gemstone also aids in professional progress and improves social and financial status. For couples, wearing a Hessonite stone can promote love, harmony, and peace in marital life.

Moreover, wearing a Gomed stone has health benefits as well. It helps to cure several ailments such as epilepsy, allergies, sinus and eye infections, hemorrhoids, and heart palpitations. Additionally, it can aid in healing diseases such as cancer, varicose veins, boils, and intestinal issues, while also improving mental and respiratory health. The Gomed stone has several other benefits, including a sound gastric system and reducing fatigue and blood pressure.
