About hessonite garnet

Oval cuts are the most versatile shape: they suit rings and pendants and tend to look larger for their weight. Hessonite (Gomed) is a honey-brown to orange-red garnet and the gem of Rahu in Vedic tradition. Vedic practice normally starts with a horoscope review by a qualified astrologer before a gemstone is chosen. Tradition attaches meaning to the gem, but no result is promised.

FAQs

How do I pick a weight?

The right weight comes down to budget, how large you want the stone to look and, if you follow astrology, your astrologer's guidance. A common rule of thumb in gemstone astrology is a weight in Ratti that relates to body weight, but recommendations differ between astrologers.

Is it advisable to consult before wearing?

Tradition says a gem's suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Many people consult an astrologer first; you can also book an astrological report on Brahmatells.
