Hessonite Stone (Gomed Ratna)

Ratna Gems offers Natural Hessonite (Gomed Ratna) from African sources. Gomed often shows a swirled, honey-like internal appearance known in the trade as the roiled effect — this is normal in Hessonite and not a flaw, though clarity varies from stone to stone. In Vedic astrology, Gomed is the gemstone traditionally worn for Rahu, usually on an astrologer's advice. Every Hessonite is supplied with a gem-testing report identifying it as Natural Hessonite Garnet.
