Emerald (Panna) channels the quicksilver intelligence of Budh—Mercury.

Emerald is green beryl coloured by chromium and vanadium. In Jyotish it is the ratna of Budh—Mercury, planet of intellect, trade, and speech. Fine emeralds show vivid green; jardin inclusions are natural and accepted when colour is strong.
Colombia, Zambia, Brazil, and Pakistan (Swat) are major sources. Almost all emeralds are oiled—disclosure is essential.
Mercury rules the nervous system, skin, lungs, and commerce. Gemini and Virgo rashis, and Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, and Revati nakshatras, resonate with Panna.
Minor cedarwood oil is industry-standard. Resin filling and synthetics must be avoided for ratna use.
