Hessonite (Gomed)
Hessonite (Gomed)
Hessonite also known as Gomed in India is reddish – brown in colour. It is a gemstone associated with planet Rahu (the dragon's head). In Vedic Astrology Rahu is called a 'Shadow' planet or invisible, yet is considered a planet just the same. It emits Ultraviolet Cosmic rays. It cures diseases related to stomach causing digestive difficulty or loss of appetite. It also helps in treating disorders of brain like insanity and in treating of insomnia in particular. Being a cause of eclipse, Rahu can cause to increase darkness in one's personality, giving rise to desire of criminal conduct, violence, insatiable sexual desires, or other behavioural anomalies. It is supposed to be responsible for all sorts of delays or very late fulfillment of ambitions. If Gomedh suits the wearer it helps in achieving speedy success in less time than expected and protects the wearer from misfortunes. It can increase one's material prosperity, fame or power over others. The chief sources of Hessonite (Gomed) are India, Burma and Sri Lanka.
