African Hessonite (Gomed) - 7 Ratti
African Gomed is a deep honey to reddish-brown variety of Hessonite Garnet sourced from African countries like Tanzania and Kenya, known for its grounding energy and astrological connection to the shadow planet Rahu. Though generally darker and more included than its Sri Lankan counterpart, African Gomed is valued for its affordability and effectiveness in addressing moderate Rahu-related issues such as confusion, anxiety, obstacles, and psychological unrest. It is especially helpful during Rahu Mahadasha or Antardasha, promoting mental clarity, protection from negative influences, and focus. While slightly less potent than Ceylon Gomed in Vedic astrology, it remains a reliable and accessible option when worn on the middle finger in silver on a Saturday after proper energization.
