Hessonite
Garnets Showcase
|
|
Hessonite garnet ("Gomeda"
in Sanskrit) is the Jyotish gem related to Rahu (Moon's ascending node), which is mainly an
elemental and instinctual entity. When badly positioned, this "shadow planet" is
characterized by insatiable worldly recognitions and desires together with sense
gratification. Wearing a hessonite of at least 2 carats is said to bring success, wealth
and notoriety in society, increase life span and good fortune. Hessonite can be
substituted with orange zircon. Important:
Many Indian
Jyotish schools consider orange zircon to be the primary gem for Rahu. If
