3.16 cts Natural Emerald - Colombia (Panna)
Get in touch
This 3.16 carat Natural Emerald, or Panna, carries the celebrated Alas de Mariposa / Gota de Aceite character-terms admired in fine emeralds for their distinctive visual texture. Translated as “butterfly wing” and “drop of oil”, they describe a softly diffused, velvety play within the green, giving the stone an almost fluid richness rather than a stark appearance. Knowledgeable emerald lovers value this expressive character because it lends the gem a beautiful, individual personality.
Its Verdant Green colour recalls rain-washed leaves and deep garden foliage, with a fresh yet substantial green presence that suits the identity of a fine Colombian emerald. Colombia has a celebrated history of producing emeralds cherished for their lively greens, and this confirmed Colombian origin adds an important chapter to the stone’s story. The octagon cut is a classic choice for Panna, presenting its colour with clean, elegant lines. Notable inclusions are present, as is commonly seen in natural emeralds, and form part of the gem’s individual appearance.
The reported CE (Minor) indicates limited clarity enhancement, a disclosure that is especially useful when selecting an emerald with care. This gemstone is accompanied by certification from Nine Gems Lab and Guild Gem Lab (GLD), providing professional documentation for its reported Colombian origin, colour, treatment information and other recorded characteristics. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would particularly enjoy seeing this emerald fashioned into a refined emerald-cut ring or a graceful pendant, where its verdant colour can remain the centre of attention.
In Vedic astrology, Emerald or Panna is traditionally associated with Mercury (Budh), the planet linked with communication, learning, business sense, analysis and expression. In Jyotish practice, a natural emerald is worn to strengthen the favourable qualities traditionally connected with Budh, especially clarity in speech, intellect and practical decision-making. With its Colombian origin, distinguished butterfly-wing and oil-drop character, and documented minor clarity enhancement, this emerald has a meaningful presence for someone considering Panna in a finely made personal jewel or for traditional astrological wear.
