01 Why do natural Emeralds have 'Minor Oil' mentioned on lab certificates?
As a Type III gemstone, natural Emerald forms with microscopic internal fissures known as jardin (French for garden). Filling these surface-reaching fissures with colourless cedarwood oil is a universally accepted, traditional practice endorsed by GIA and GRS. KFG discloses the exact degree of oiling (None, Insignificant, or Minor) on every report.
02 Which is better for astrological results: Zambian or Colombian Emerald?
Both Zambian and Colombian Emeralds are 100% natural Beryl and carry identical planetary energy for Mercury (Budha). Astrological efficacy depends primarily on natural origin, vivid green color, and transparency rather than geographic mine location.
03 How long does Panna take to show astrological effects?
Traditionally, a natural Emerald energized and worn on a Wednesday morning begins manifesting subtle improvements in focus, speech, and mental calmness within 30 to 45 days.
