Hessonite, or Gomed, is not a fiery gem — it is a smoky glow from another realm. Ruled by Rahu, the shadow planet, Gomed is worn when life feels chaotic, stuck, or overly influenced by illusion or instability. It brings clarity where there’s confusion, grounding where there’s restlessness, and detachment where emotions run high.
गहरा शहद जैसा चमकता यह रत्न राहु ग्रह से जुड़ा होता है — जो छाया ग्रह माना जाता है। जब जीवन में अनिश्चितता, मानसिक भ्रम, या अस्थिरता बढ़ जाए, तो गोमेधक को एक संतुलनकारी रत्न के रूप में पहना जाता है। यह मन को स्थिरता, सोच को स्पष्टता, और निर्णय को मजबूती देने में सहायक माना जाता है।
Gomed is often recommended during:
– Rahu Dasha / Antardasha
– Times of mental unrest, addiction, anxiety, or illusion
– Intense worldly attachments or repeated professional failure
– Situations involving legal trouble, reputation concerns, or family conflict
It is especially useful for those who feel overwhelmed, easily manipulated, or distracted. Gomed grounds your energy and clears the fog — gently, but firmly.
🇮🇳 Indian (Orissa) Gomed
Widely used in traditional astrology, Indian Hessonites tend to show a honey-brown to reddish glow. They are natural, untreated, and preferred for practical planetary use.
🌍 African Gomed
Often darker and more translucent than Indian ones, African Hessonite tends to be visually cleaner. It is suitable for those seeking both astrological and aesthetic balance.
🇱🇰 Ceylonese Gomed (Sri Lanka)
Highly sought after for their refined colour and clarity. Ceyloni Gomedhaks often show a rich cinnamon or golden-honey tone and are ideal for those who want subtlety and power in equal measure.
