What is Hessonite (Gomed)?

Hessonite, commonly known as Gomed in India, is a variety of the Garnet mineral family. It is recognized for its characteristic honey-colored, reddish-brown, and cinnamon-like appearance.

The name "Hessonite" originates from a Greek word meaning "inferior," referring to its slightly softer nature compared to some other garnets. Despite the name, Hessonite remains one of the most popular and visually distinctive gemstones in the garnet family.
