Emerald Stone (Panna) – Nature’s Green Wisdom
The Emerald Stone, known as Panna in Hindi and Marakata in Sanskrit, is one of the most captivating gemstones from the Beryl mineral family, prized for its enchanting green hue and remarkable astrological benefits. Its mesmerizing color comes from trace amounts of chromium and vanadium within the crystal structure, giving it a vibrant charm that has fascinated royalty, spiritual seekers, and gem lovers for centuries.
Far more than just a jewel of beauty, Emerald holds immense significance in Vedic astrology, where it is associated with the planet Mercury (Budh).

About Emerald (Panna)
Emerald is a vibrant green gemstone recognized for its lustrous color, rarity, and association with intellect and wisdom. It is primarily composed of beryl and gets its color from trace amounts of chromium or vanadium. Known as Panna in Vedic astrology, Emerald is treasured for enhancing communication, memory, and mental clarity.
Its shades range from light, fresh greens to deep, vivid green tones, with the most desirable being a bright, evenly distributed color that is neither too dark nor too pale. Fine-quality Emeralds often display a soft velvety texture and high transparency, making them not only attractive but also energetically powerful.
Astrologically, Panna is revered for strengthening the influence of Mercury, the planet of intellect, speech, business acumen, and analytical ability. It is believed to improve oratory skills, enhance focus, and promote harmonious relationships. Emeralds are especially valued by those in writing, teaching, public speaking, finance, or creative professions.
Origin of Panna – Where Does It Come From?
Emeralds are mined in several parts of the world, with each origin producing unique characteristics and value ranges:
- Colombian Emeralds – Highly prized for their bright, pure green color and exceptional clarity. Considered the best in the world, they command premium prices.
- Zambian Emeralds – Known for a slightly bluish-green hue and excellent transparency, often more durable than other origins.
- Brazilian Emeralds – Lighter in tone with good transparency, valued for affordability.
- Indian Emeralds – Historically sourced from Rajasthan and Odisha, usually medium quality but with strong astrological value.
At ShivRaj Ratna, we focus on Colombian and Zambian origin Emeralds, as they offer the finest blend of beauty, clarity, and astrological benefits.
Quality & Price of Emerald (Panna)
The price of an Emerald depends on several quality factors:
1. Color
The most important factor—top-quality Emeralds exhibit a vivid, evenly distributed green with high saturation. Stones that are too dark, too light, or with visible color zoning are less valuable.
2. Clarity
Natural inclusions (known as jardin) are common in Emeralds and do not necessarily reduce astrological potency. However, stones with minimal visible inclusions and higher transparency are priced significantly higher.
3. Cut & Shape
Emeralds are most commonly cut into emerald cuts, oval cuts, or cushion shapes to maximize color and minimize wastage. Well-proportioned cuts enhance brilliance.
4. Carat Weight
For astrological use, a minimum weight of 3–5 carats is recommended. Larger, high-quality Emeralds are rare and therefore much more expensive.
5. Origin
Colombian Emeralds are the most valuable, followed by Zambian, Brazilian, and Indian varieties.
Price Range in India
- Indian Origin – ₹2,000 to ₹15,000 per carat
- Brazilian Origin – ₹5,000 to ₹25,000 per carat
- Zambian Origin – ₹8,000 to ₹50,000 per carat
- Colombian Origin – ₹20,000 to ₹2,00,000+ per carat for top-quality stones
Natural, untreated, certified Emeralds with vivid green color and good clarity fetch premium prices.
Emerald in Vedic Astrology – Gemstone of Mercury (Budh)
