Hessonite (Gomed)

Hessonite, or Gomed in Hindi, is a calcium aluminum silicate with a cinnamon tint. It is said that this stone is governed by the Vedic planet “Rahu.” The name Hessonite is derived from the Greek word “Hesson,” which means “lesser.” This is because the planet “Rahu,” which is also referred to as “Dragon-head” in Western Astrology, is a malevolent planet. Because it may remove self-doubt and provide the wearer the right path in life, it is one of the most potent astrological stones. It goes by a number of names, including Gomed, Gomedak, and Gomedhikam. Advantages: a) Muted Raahu Dasha b) Promotes health c) Yields financial benefits
