Gomed and Cat's Eye: Gemstones for Rahu and Ketu
22 Oct 2026
Gemstone guide · Rahu & Ketu
Rahu and Ketu are the two lunar nodes, the “shadow planets” of Vedic astrology. Gomed (hessonite garnet) is the gemstone of Rahu, and cat's eye (Lehsuniya) is the gemstone of Ketu.
Both are considered powerful, so astrologers usually recommend them only after a chart reading.

Why caution?
Rahu and Ketu are considered unpredictable, so many people try the stone for a short period first and stop if anything feels unfavourable. These stones are also traditionally not combined with ruby or pearl.
