Emerald, known as Panna in India, is the rich green gemstone associated with Mercury (Budh) in Vedic astrology. "Zambian" refers to emeralds mined in Zambia, which are known for a deep green colour, often with a slightly bluish tone.
Emerald is the green variety of the mineral beryl, coloured by traces of chromium and vanadium. It rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, but natural inclusions (often called the "jardin", French for garden) make it more brittle than sapphire or ruby.
Most emeralds are treated with oil or resin to improve clarity. This is standard in the trade, but the type and extent of treatment should be disclosed. An origin such as Zambia can only be confirmed by a gem laboratory.
Panna is the gemstone of Mercury, the planet traditionally linked with intellect, communication, business and learning. By custom it is set in gold or silver, worn on the little finger, and worn for the first time on a Wednesday.
These are traditional beliefs rather than proven effects. Wearing emerald does not guarantee results in studies, business or any other area.
