Hessonite
Hessonite (Gomed) is a powerful Vedic gemstone associated with Rahu. It is worn for mental clarity, success in uncertain times, and protection from negative energies. Known for its honey-orange hue, Hessonite is ideal during Rahu Mahadasha or Antardasha and is especially helpful in politics, media, and unconventional careers.
About Hessonite
Hessonite, also known as Gomed, is a honey-colored gemstone linked to the shadow planet Rahu in Vedic astrology. It is known for neutralizing Rahu’s negative effects and supporting success, clarity, and balance in life. Hessonite is ideal during Rahu Mahadasha and suits those in fields like politics, research, media, and the occult. Its warm orange to reddish-brown tones make it one of the most sought-after astrological gemstones.
Clean & Care
Clean your Hessonite stone using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners or steamers if the stone has inclusions. Keep away from chemicals and store it separately to avoid scratching by harder stones like sapphire or diamond.
Who Should Wear
Hessonite is ideal for those going through Rahu Mahadasha or Antardasha. It benefits Aquarius and Gemini ascendants, and people working in unconventional or high-risk fields like media, politics, and law. Always consult an astrologer before wearing it, and consider a 72-hour trial to assess suitability.
