Quality Factors & Price Guide

How to Identify Quality Hessonite

Color (Most Important - 40%)

Honey-brown, cinnamon color most valuable. Should be uniform, rich color. Avoid too dark or too pale stones.

"Roiled" Effect (Unique - 25%)

Natural hessonite has unique "roiled" or honey-like internal appearance. This distinguishes real gomed from imitations.

Clarity (20%)

Eye-clean preferred. Some inclusions acceptable. Heavy inclusions reduce transparency and value.

Origin (15%)

Ceylon (Sri Lanka) most valuable with best color saturation. Indian (Orissa), African, and Brazilian also available.

Hessonite Price in India (Per Carat)

Quality Price Range
Commercial (Indian) Rs 500 - 1,500
Good (African) Rs 1,000 - 3,000
Fine Ceylon Rs 2,500 - 8,000
Premium Ceylon Rs 8,000 - 15,000
Exceptional (Top Color) Rs 15,000 - 30,000+

Tip: For astrological purposes, color and the "roiled" effect are most important. A 5-carat good quality Ceylon gomed is ideal.
