They come from the famous Muzo mines in Colombia, which people often call the "Emerald Capital of the World." These mines produce very high-quality emeralds, and that’s why Colombian panna stones are loved everywhere.
Emeralds also come from places like Zambia, Brazil, Madagascar, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan. But Colombian emeralds are still special and known for their unique beauty.
Original panna stone is special because of how and where they are formed. They are found inside sedimentary rocks like black shale and limestone. These rocks help give them their bright green color and good quality.
Emeralds from other countries, like Zambia and Brazil, are found in different types of rocks, which makes them look and feel a bit different.
Colombian emeralds are known for their rich green color, which sometimes has a bluish hint. This color is bright and spread evenly throughout the stone. Zambian emeralds often look darker and more bluish, while Brazilian emeralds can be lighter and a bit yellowish.
Colombian emeralds usually have fewer inclusions (small natural marks inside the stone). Even when inclusions are there, they are less noticeable, so the stone still looks clear and beautiful. Emeralds from Zambia and Brazil may have more visible inclusions, which can make them less valuable.
These emeralds are also more transparent, which means light passes through better, making them sparkle more. Other emeralds might not be as transparent, so they look less shiny.
A common feature inside Colombian panna is a gas bubble with small cubic crystals. This pattern helps experts know that the emerald is from Colombia.
In astrology, emeralds are linked to Mercury, the planet of wisdom and communication. Wearing them is thought to help if Mercury is weak in your birth chart.
In Indian astrology, emerald is good for people born under Gemini (Mithun) and Virgo (Kanya).
In Western astrology, Cancer is believed to benefit from emeralds.
People with Taurus, Libra, Capricorn, and Aquarius ascendants may also gain from wearing them.
For best results, astrologers recommend wearing it on the little finger or ring finger of the right hand.
The weight should be about 1/12th of your body weight. So, if you weigh 60 kg, a 5-carat emerald is good.
The best time to wear it is on Wednesday morning while chanting “Om Budhaye Namah” 108 times.
When buying emeralds for astrology, be careful. Some sellers offer treated or used stones that may not help as much. Always talk to a good astrologer first.
