About Hessonite Gemstone

Overview

Gomed gemstone or Gomedhikam stone is a precious gemstone in Hindu Mythology.

  • It was a favorite of the Greeks and Romans.
  • It is also known as the Rahu stone.
  • The chemical composition of the Gomed Ratna is similar to grossularite which is a part of the garnet group consisting primarily of calcium and aluminum. 

Usually, it is found in placer deposits across the world. The best hessonite stone is found in Sri Lanka and India, while some deposits are also present in Brazil, Canada, Madagascar, and Tanzania. It brings clarity and equilibrium to a person’s mind, which might get distorted due to Rahu’s impact. It also infuses creative inspiration into a person’s mind and helps rid them of negative thoughts or anxiety. 

Not only mental, but the stone makes a person’s spiritual side healthy and active. In ancient times, there was a belief that stone had talismanic powers.
