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.

Please do not try any chemical, acid, or home-made tests on this stone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this African Gomed natural or lab-made?

This African Gomed is 100% natural Hessonite Garnet with lab certification. The stone is unheated and untreated — its natural state is fully preserved.

Who should wear Gomed (Hessonite)?
Gomed (गोमेद) is the gemstone for Rahu (राहु). It is traditionally recommended for:
  • Kumbh Rashi (Aquarius) — most recommended
  • Mithun Rashi (Gemini)
  • Tula Rashi (Libra)
  • Those going through Rahu Mahadasha
Please consult a qualified astrologer for more information.
How to wear Gomed?
Traditional guidelines for wearing Gomed:
  • Day: Saturday
  • Time: Evening or early morning (5-7 AM)
  • Finger: Middle finger of working hand
  • Metal: Silver or Panchdhatu (not gold)
The stone bottom should touch your skin. Recommended by many astrologers.
Is African Gomed good for astrology?

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.

What is the difference between African and Ceylon Gomed?

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.

How to check if Gomed is real?

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.

Which metal is best for Gomed ring?

Silver or Panchdhatu is recommended for Gomed. Gold is generally not used for Rahu stones. Make sure the stone bottom touches your skin.

Can I return this stone?

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.

Why is untreated Gomed important?

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.

What weight Gomed should I wear?

According to many astrologers, common formula: Your body weight (kg) ÷ 10 = minimum Carat weight. Example: 60 kg person needs minimum 6 Carat.

Do you make rings with this stone?

We sell loose certified gemstones only. You can get this stone set by your local jeweller in silver or panchdhatu.
