Origin: Natural Gomed stone generally comes from India, Africa and Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Though the stone is found plentifully in Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America, the garnet of Sri Lankan origin is the most sought-after variety of gomed.Colour: The color of gomed includes a broad range from honey-yellow to deep reddish brown.

Clarity: Location, volume and nature of additions altogether affect the value of gomed. The greater the clarity and transparency of the hessonite, the greater the price.

Cut: The cutting of the gemstone not only improves the quality of the gemstone but also covers the inclusions. Also, a better faceted gomed is valued more over a normal or odd shape one.

Carat/Weight: If the stone is of good quality, a 3 to 4 carat gomed will suit a wearer of any age and body weight and provide good results. If the stone is of low to medium quality, a 5 to 7 carat gomed is recommended. If one can afford it, a 5-10 carat good quality gomed is best.
