Benefits of Emerald (Panna)
Emerald (Panna) strengthens Budh, which signifies intellect, speech, business and learning. It helps when Budh rules good houses in your chart (the Lagna, 5th or 9th) and is weak; if Budh rules the 6th, 8th or 12th, strengthening it can do harm.
Energise
On the first morning, wash in raw milk and Ganga jal, light a lamp and chant Om Braam Breem Braum Sah Budhaya Namah 108 times, then wear it.
