Hessonite Stone - A Popular Variety of Garnet
Hessonite or Gomed in Hindi is a honey-colored gemstone from the calcium aluminium silicate mineral family. This semi-precious variety of Garnet gemstone holds a prominent place in the Hindu scriptures. Hessonite gets its name from the Greek word Hesson which stands for ‘inferior' and is ruled by the Vedic planet ‘Rahu’.

Hessonite gemstone is known to have good hardness, durability, and stability, and has a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Moh’s scale.
