Who should wear hessonite?
Jyotish suggests a planet's stone when that planet rules the 1st, 5th or 9th house from your ascendant (lagna). Our gemstone finder works this out from your birth date, time and place.
How do you wear hessonite?
Set hessonite in silver or panchdhatu so the stone touches the skin, and wear it on the middle finger of your working hand. Put it on for the first time on a Saturday morning, ideally in the first hour after sunrise during the waxing fortnight (Shukla paksha). Our wearing-time tool shows the next good Saturday window for your city.

The 2 certified hessonite pieces in our shop right now range from ₹4,299 to ₹6,999, each with its lab report and carat weight listed.

How can I tell if hessonite is real?
Buy hessonite with a report from IGI, GII, GRS, SSEF or Gübelin, then check the report number on the lab's own website. The report names the mineral, the weight and any treatment such as heating or filling. Natural stones usually show small inclusions under magnification; a flawless stone at a low price deserves a second look.
