Panna Stone

Steeped in centuries of lore and celebrated across cultures, Panna stone, also known as Emerald, is the green gem that symbolises renewal, intelligence, and prosperity. A revered member of the Navratna family, each finely‑cut Panna gemstone blends timeless elegance with potent astrological strength.

Panna belongs to the beryl family (chemical formula Be₃Al₂(SiO₃)₆), coloured by trace chromium and vanadium. Rated 7.5–8 on the Mohs hardness scale, it is robust enough for daily wear yet carries delicate inclusions, affectionately known as “jardins”, that affirm its natural origin.

Available in a palette of green shades, from soft spring to deep forest, Panna comes in oval, emerald‑cut, round, cushion, and pear shapes. These cuts are crafted to maximise brilliance and colour depth.

Origins & Authenticity

Panna stones are sourced from Colombia, Zambia, Brazil and even India. Colombia is famous for its vivid green gems, but origin is only one factor, true value depends on balanced colour, clarity, and transparency.
At our store, every stone comes with a laboratory certificate confirming natural origin, origin details, and treatment history. This ensures total confidence in authenticity.

Astrological & Personal Benefits

In Vedic astrology, Panna resonates with Budh (Mercury), the planet of intellect, speech, and commerce.

Key Benefits:

• Sharpened Intelligence & Memory – Ideal for students, writers and professionals undergoing exams or public speaking.
• Enhanced Communication – Helps overcome hesitancy or stammering, boosting clarity in self‑expression.
• Career & Financial Growth – Attracts prosperity and supports business or career expansion.
• Emotional Balance – Quiets anxiety, stabilises emotions and nurtures peace within.

Who Should Wear Panna?

Recommended for individuals with a weak Mercury placement in their horoscope, and ruled or rising signs Gemini (Mithun) or Virgo (Kanya).
Professionals in writing, teaching, finance, media, law, or research benefit greatly. It is also the birthstone of May, making it meaningful for those celebrating May birthdays.

How to Choose the Right Panna

Colour – Opt for lively green shades evenly saturated.
Clarity – Natural inclusions acceptable; avoid overly brittle stones.
Cut & Shape – Emerald‑cut, round, or oval, choose what enhances your ring or pendant design.
Carat Weight – Ideal weight often circa 1 ratti per 12 kg body weight; consult your astrologer.
Certification & Treatment – Choose stones with clear lab certification and full disclosure of any oil treatments.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Clean using mild soap and lukewarm water; avoid ultrasonic cleaners.
• Wipe with a soft cloth to retain shine and remove oil or dirt.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or heat that could damage oil-treated fissures.
• Store in a velvet or fabric-lined box, separately from harder gemstones.

Panna Stone Price – What Determines the Value?

The price of a Panna stone can vary significantly based on several factors. Unlike synthetic or commercial-grade gemstones, natural and untreated Panna stones are valued for their rarity, beauty, and astrological potency.
Here are the main factors influencing Panna stone price:

1. Origin

Colombian Emeralds: Known for their deep green hue and high transparency, these are among the most expensive.
Zambian Emeralds: Slightly darker with excellent durability; generally more affordable than Colombian stones.
Indian Emeralds: Often lighter in tone with visible inclusions; more budget-friendly for first-time buyers.

2. Colour Quality

The most desirable shade is a vivid, evenly distributed green, not too dark, not too pale.
A rich, vibrant tone with minimal colour zoning commands a higher price.

3. Clarity

Inclusions are natural in emeralds, but stones with fewer visible inclusions are more valuable.
Panna stones with good transparency and minimal cracks offer better aesthetics and durability.

4. Carat Weight

As size increases, so does price per carat. A 3-carat emerald of high quality may cost exponentially more than three 1-carat stones.

5. Cut and Shape

Well-proportioned emerald cuts, ovals, and cushions that enhance brilliance will cost more.
Precision cutting ensures better light performance, colour, and wearability.

6. Treatment

Most emeralds are oil-treated to improve appearance. Untreated or minimally treated stones fetch premium prices.

Always choose certified stones with treatment disclosure.

Basic Quality (Indian Origin): ₹800 – ₹2,500 per carat
Mid-Range (Zambian Origin): ₹3,000 – ₹10,000 per carat
Premium (Colombian Origin): ₹15,000 – ₹80,000+ per carat

Note: These are average estimates. Final pricing depends on specific gem quality and certification.
