Hessonite, called Gomed in India, is a honey-to-brownish garnet and one of the nine Navratna gemstones. In jyotish it is the stone linked to Rahu, worn on an astrologer's advice to steady a scattered mind, ease confusion and anxiety, and calm the effects of Rahu. Solacely offers Gomed as loose certified stones and set in silver, panchdhatu, pendants and bracelets.
How to choose your Gomed
Start with how you want to wear it. A silver or panchdhatu ring on the middle finger is the traditional choice for Rahu; a pendant or bracelet is a gentler everyday option. Weight is measured in ratti, and larger, cleaner stones cost more. If you are following jyotish, let your astrologer guide the weight and the day you begin.
