Natural Zambian Emerald (Panna) 8.78 Ct Oval Cut – Certified Zamrud Gemstone, GGI Report

Description

This is a genuine Natural Emerald (Panna/Zamrud), classified as Natural Beryl, sourced from Zambia and weighing a substantial 8.78 carats. Measuring 14.79 x 12.13 x 7.64mm in an oval mixed cut, the stone displays a rich, saturated green color with semi-transparent clarity, showing the depth and character prized in fine Zambian emerald.

This emerald comes independently certified by the Galaxy Gemological Institute (GGI Certificate #KHI2609950143, dated 7 September 2026). The report notes evidence of significant oiling — a minor clarity enhancement using natural oil to fill surface-reaching fissures, which is a long-standing, widely accepted practice across the emerald trade and does not affect the stone’s status as a natural, genuine emerald.

Zambia has earned a strong reputation as a source of fine emerald, often prized for a slightly bluer, more saturated green than material from other origins. Emerald, known as Panna in Hindi and Zamrud in Urdu/Arabic, holds deep cultural and astrological significance across South Asia and the Middle East, traditionally associated with Mercury in Vedic astrology and worn for clarity, communication, and prosperity.

At nearly 9 carats, this is a genuine statement-size stone, well suited to a fine ring, pendant, or astrological gemstone setting, backed by independent lab documentation.
