Do emeralds require oiling?

Do emeralds require oiling?

11 Oct, 2023 | Gemstone | Gem Selection

Emeralds, also known as panna gemstones, can vary greatly in quality, which can have a big influence on both how they look and, to some degree, how much they are worth. The impact of oil treatment on emeralds and their relevance in astrology are as follows:

Emeralds treated with oil:

To enhance their clarity and general beauty, the majority of emeralds sold nowadays undergo oil treatment. Filling surface-reaching cracks and inclusions with a colorless oil or resin, like cedar wood oil or opticon oil, is the treatment method. The inclusions are concealed by this treatment, which also improves the gem's clarity and brightness.

The color saturation, brightness, and clarity of emeralds that have undergone oil treatment tend to be superior; making them more eye-catching. The oil filling is not permanent and may require reapplication over time due to wear or exposure to certain conditions.

Emeralds not treated with oil:

Emeralds that have not been treated with oil are more rare and expensive. These emeralds are untreated, so their inclusions and surface-reaching cracks are visible in their original condition. Compared to emeralds that have been treated with oil, unenhanced emeralds may have more obvious inclusions and a slightly foggy look. Because of their authenticity and originality, collectors and enthusiasts frequently favor natural, untreated emeralds.

Significance of astrology

The use of emerald (panna) is linked to the planet Mercury in astrology and gem treatment. According to astrologers, wearing an authentic, premium emerald may enhance one's ability to communicate, think critically, and be creative. While the presence of oil treatment in an emerald may improve its beauty, the treatment itself often has little impact on the stone's astrological significance.

In order to harness a gemstone's pristine energies, astrologers often advise utilizing natural, untreated gemstones for astrological purposes. The ultimate choice between using treated or untreated emeralds for astrological reasons, however, may change based on personal beliefs and practices.

Conclusion

Since panna is a very delicate gem that generally develops fractures if not kept in oil, it is often preserved in oil to prevent breakages. According to gemologist wearing an emerald that has been maintained in oil or one that hasn't makes no difference in the way it affects your astrological results because both stones function identically.
