Gomed (Hessonite Garnet)

Gomed is considered as a powerful gemstone in the Kaliyug and is filled with the powers of Rahu, who it rules over Gomed. Rahu is considered to be a rogue planet. The name is from the Greek h?ss?n, inferior, in allusion to its lower hardness and density than most other garnet species varieties. It has a characteristic red color, inclining to orange. Gomed is found in Sri Lanka, Brazil and California.
