What Is Gomed and Why Is It Called the ‘Shadow Planet Gem’?

Gomed, also known as Hessonite Garnet, is one of the powerful precious gems linked to Rahu—the shadow planet in Vedic astrology. With its reddish-brown hue, Gomed is believed to counter negative energies, enhance focus, and promote success. Often set in silver, it is worn for protection and balance, making it a sought-after choice in spiritual gemstone therapy.
