Detailed Product Description
African Gomed Stone (Hessonite) 6 Carat — Natural & Untreated
This African Gomed Stone (Hessonite) 6 Carat (6.59 Ratti) is a lab-certified natural Hessonite Garnet sourced from Africa. The stone is 100% natural, unheated, and untreated — important for those wearing Gomed for astrological reasons. Ceylon Gomed is very hard to find these days. Many local shops and online sellers sell African Hessonite by the name of Ceylon Hessonite (Gomed) because both have nearly the same properties, quality, and colour. We clearly mention the origin so you know exactly what you are buying.Gemstone Details

Natural Characteristics
Hessonite Garnet shows a special "roiled" or "treacle" effect — internal swirling patterns like heat waves. This is a sign of genuine Hessonite and cannot be copied in fake stones. Small natural inclusions may be visible — these confirm the stone is natural.Important Note on Testing
Please do not try any chemical, acid, or home-made tests on this stone. Such tests can damage the stone, and if damaged, both the 7-day return policy and lifetime authenticity guarantee will not apply. For re-confirmation, trust only reputed ISO-certified gemstone testing laboratories. Home tests are only for basic checking — they cannot give 100% accurate results.Browse More Gomed Options

Yes, African Gomed works for astrological purposes. The important thing is that the stone must be natural and untreated — which this stone is. African Hessonite has the same properties as Ceylon Gomed and is widely accepted by astrologers.
Ceylon Gomed is considered premium and costs 3-5 times more. But Ceylon Gomed is very hard to find now. African Gomed has similar properties, quality, and colour — that's why many sellers sell African as Ceylon. We clearly mention the origin for your trust.
Real Hessonite shows a "treacle effect" — swirling patterns inside the stone like heat waves. Glass fakes cannot copy this. For 100% confirmation, get it tested at an ISO-certified gemstone testing laboratory. Do not try acid or chemical tests at home — they can damage the stone.
Silver or Panchdhatu is recommended for Gomed. Gold is generally not used for Rahu stones. Make sure the stone bottom touches your skin.
Yes, we have a 7-day easy return policy from delivery date. The stone must be in original condition. See our Return Policy for details.
For astrological use, gemstones should be natural and untreated. Treatments can affect the stone's natural energy. This Gomed is certified unheated and untreated, making it suitable for astrological wearing.
According to many astrologers, common formula: Your body weight (kg) ÷ 10 = minimum Carat weight. Example: 60 kg person needs minimum 6 Carat.
We sell loose certified gemstones only. You can get this stone set by your local jeweller in silver or panchdhatu.
