Whether you are going through Rahu Mahadasha or looking to bring balance into your life, our Hessonite stones are perfect for both astrological and spiritual use.

Who Should Wear Hessonite Gemstone

In Vedic astrology, hessonite gemstone is recommended for individuals who are affected by Rahu in their birth chart. Its especially useful for people going through Rahu Mahadasha or Antar Dasha.

Recommended Signs and Ascendants:

• Aquarius (Kumbh Rashi): Rahu is an important planet for this sign.
• Libra (Tula Rashi) & Taurus (Vrishabh Rashi): Often advised after checking the Rahu placement.
• Gemini (Mithun Rashi): As per Western astrology, it is a birthstone for Geminis.

Important Note: It is always advised to consult a professional astrologer before wearing gomed ratna. If Rahu is in the 3rd, 6th, 10th, or 11th house, Gomedh can be very helpful. If Rahu is in the 8th or 12th house, a trial period is recommended first.

Gomed Gemstone Pricing

The original gomed stone price in india can ranges from INR 999 to INR 5,000 per carat or more, depending on its weight, overall clarity, color, origin, and treatment. In rare cases, high-grade Siloni Gomed (Ceylon origin) can cost even more.

Key Factors That Decide Original Gomed Stone Price

Before buying a Gomed stone, its important to understand what influences its price and quality. Here are the main factors you should know:

1. Weight (Carat Size): Larger stones with high clarity and deep color are more expensive. For astrological use, a minimum weight of 1/12th of your body weight (in carats) is recommended.
2. Color: Gomed ratna come in shades from light honey-yellow to deep reddish-brown. A stone that resembles the color of “gomutra” (cow’s urine) is considered best in astrology. Rich and bright colors without dull zones command higher prices.
3. Clarity: High-quality hessonite stones have fewer inclusions (marks or spots inside the stone). Look for stones that are clear and allow light to pass through. Visible dark spots or cloudiness lower the quality and price.
4. Origin: Ceylonese (Sri Lankan) gomed ratna is the most valued origin. It has better color, fewer inclusions, and higher astrological benefits. Indian and African Gomeds are more affordable but often have more flaws.
5. Cut: Faceted stones (with multiple cuts) reflect light better and are slightly costlier than plain cabochon cuts. However, the cut should not reduce too much of the stone’s original weight.
6. Treatment: Untreated and natural stones are always more valuable and astrologically powerful. Be cautious of stones that are heat-treated or artificially colored to look better.

How to Clean and Care for Hessonite Stone

To keep your Gomed (Hessonite) stone looking beautiful and full of energy, regular care and gentle cleaning are very important. 

Cleaning Your Gomed Stone: Step-by-Step

Gomed is a durable stone but still needs careful handling. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic machines. Follow these easy steps:

1. Use mild soap and warm water: Mix a few drops of gentle dish soap in lukewarm water.
2. Gently brush the stone: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean around the gemstone and its setting. Be gentle - don't scrub too hard.
3. Rinse well: After cleaning, rinse the stone thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap.
4. Dry softly: Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Don’t let it air dry, as water spots may appear.

Storage Tips for Gomed (Hessonite) Jewelry

To avoid scratches and damage, always store your Gomed stone jewelry carefully:

• Store separately: Keep it away from harder stones and metals. Use a soft pouch or a fabric-lined jewelry box.
• Keep in a dry, cool place: Avoid direct sunlight or high temperatures. A dry cupboard or drawer is ideal.
• Don’t pile jewelry: Stones can rub against each other and get scratched, so keep each item in its own space.

Things to Avoid

• No chemicals: Keep your Gomed away from perfumes, hair sprays, and household cleaning products.
• Remove before physical activity: Take off your gemstone ring before exercising, cleaning, swimming, or doing heavy work.

Energetic Cleansing Tips

Many gemstone lovers believe that gomed ratna absorbs energy and should be “cleansed” spiritually from time to time. Here's how you can do that:

• Moonlight Method: Leave your gomedhikam stone under soft moonlight overnight (especially on a full moon) to recharge its energy.
• Rinse with pure water: Gently wash it with clean, mineral or Ganga Jal to remove negative energies.

Beware of Fake or Treated Gomed Gemstone

When buying a gomed gemstone online or offline, you must ensure you are getting an original, certified and natural stone. Some sellers may offer low-quality or even fake stones at cheap prices. Here’s how to protect yourself:

• Buy only from trusted sources like Mewar Gem Art, known for honesty and expert service.
• Always ask for a gemstone certificate from reputed labs like GIA, IGI, or GJEPC.
• Verify the certificate on the issuing lab’s website to ensure its not fake.
• Don’t trust only the certificate - look for color, clarity, and transparency yourself or with expert help.
• Avoid extremely low-priced stones - they're often treated or synthetic and not suitable for astrology.
