Panna, known in English as Emerald, is the gemstone of Mercury (Budh) in Vedic astrology. This guide explains what the stone is, the benefits traditionally linked with it, who should wear it and the correct method of wearing.

What is Panna stone?

Panna is a green beryl whose natural inclusions, called jardin, are accepted as proof of natural origin. For astrological use the stone should be natural, with good colour and clarity, and backed by a report from an independent gemological laboratory.

Panna stone benefits

In Jyotish, Panna is worn to strengthen Mercury (Budh). It is traditionally recommended for students, traders, writers, accountants and anyone whose work depends on communication and calculation. These benefits come from astrological tradition and are a matter of personal belief; a gemstone is not a substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.

Who should wear Panna?

A gemstone should be chosen from the birth chart (kundli), not from the sun sign alone. Wear Panna only when Mercury (Budh) is a favourable planet in your chart, and consult a qualified astrologer before you buy.

How to wear Panna stone

  • Metal: gold or silver ring or pendant, with the stone touching the skin.
  • Finger: little finger of the working hand.
  • Day: Wednesday, after bathing, during the morning.
  • Weight: A weight of 3 to 6 ratti is common, chosen according to body weight and budget.
  • Mantra: chant the Beej Mantra of Mercury (Budh) 108 times before wearing.

How to check an original Panna stone

Ask for the lab certificate and match its report number, weight and measurements with the stone. Every certified Panna at Jagrat Gems is listed with its SGL report details, exact carat and ratti weight, and is energized through the Jagrat Process before dispatch.
