7.0 Carat Natural Cloudy / Smoky Loose Hessonite Garnet Cushion Cut Ring Gem

About the Item

Loose Hessonite Garnet Weight: 7 Carats Dimension: 12.3x9.4x7.1 Mm Origin: Madagascar Africa Shape: Cushion Color: Orange Treatment: Non Certificate: On Demand Hessonite garnet, also known as "cinnamon stone" or "gomed," is a unique and alluring gemstone with a distinctive reddish-brown to orange-brown color. It belongs to the garnet family of minerals and holds a special place in the world of gemology and astrology. The name "hessonite" is derived from the Greek word "hesson," meaning "inferior," which refers to its lower hardness compared to other garnet varieties. Hessonite garnet typically has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it somewhat more susceptible to scratches and wear than other garnets. Hessonite garnets are primarily found in Sri Lanka, India, and Madagascar, though they can also be located in other regions. What sets hessonite apart is its unique color, ranging from a warm, honey-like brown to a reddish-orange hue. This color is a result of manganese content within the crystal structure, which can also give it a slight pleochroism, meaning it may display different colors when viewed from various angles. In the world of gemstones, hessonite garnet has gained recognition for its natural, earthy beauty. It is often fashioned into cabochons, beads, and faceted gemstones for use in rings, earrings, necklaces, and other jewelry. The gem's warm and inviting color has an enduring appeal, and it is considered a symbol of strength, courage, and protection. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, hessonite garnet is valued for its metaphysical and astrological properties. It is associated with the planet Rahu in Vedic astrology and is believed to enhance one's career, increase one's focus, and protect against negative energies. In some cultures, hessonite garnet is considered a talisman for travelers, believed to safeguard them during journeys. Hessonite garnet's versatility and symbolism make it a meaningful choice for those seeking gemstones with both visual beauty and metaphysical significance. Whether worn for its enchanting appearance or its believed protective qualities, hessonite garnet continues to captivate individuals around the world, adding a touch of warmth and intrigue to their lives.
