Pricing Details About Zamrud Stone
The most expensive zamrud or emerald ever sold per carat is the "Rockefeller Emerald." This exceptional gemstone was auctioned by Christie’s in June 2017. The 18.04-carat emerald fetched a staggering zamrud stone price of $5.5 million (INR 47 crore+), which equates to approximately $305,000 (INR 2.5 crore+) per carat.
The above is an example to showcase Zamrud’s popularity in the world of gemstone jewellery. However, in India, a decent quality emerald can be purchased based on colour, quality, cut, clarity, origin, treatments performed on the stone, and the jewellery they are carved in. At GemPundit,

Factors Affecting Zamrud Stone Price & Quality
Understanding the market dynamics around pure zamrud can help buyers select a piece that fulfills their astrological and financial needs. Before purchasing zamrud online or from trusted dealers, it's important to check the price guide. The following parameters can help in choosing the original panna stone:
Origin
Panna mines have been discovered in Colombia, Zambia, Brazil, Russia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the United States, and Australia. Colombian zamruds, being highly saturated and perfectly balanced in green and blue tints, are considered superior to other origins, followed by Zambian zamruds. Brazilian zamruds are darker and thus less desirable.
Colour
The colour of zamrud is the most important quality factor. The value of green zamrud or Panna stone increases if it is richly saturated and consistently coloured. Natural zamruds from Colombia are considered to have the finest colour quality.
Clarity
Zamruds are known for containing three-phase inclusions – solid crystals, liquid films, and gaseous bubbles, found in almost all origins. Inclusions in zamruds from the Chivor mine in Colombia often exist as pyrite, albite, and needle-like growth tubes. Zambian zamruds contain black dot-like specks and are usually colour-zoned. An eye-clean zamrud with a bright green colour is highly rare and exceptionally expensive.
Uniqueness (Trapiche Zamrud)
A rare and unique variety known as Trapiche zamrud is found in Colombia and Brazil. Trapiche or Star Zamruds are unique in their display of impurities appearing in a six-pointed, star-like radial pattern. Additionally, the 'Chatoyancy or Cats Eye' effect displayed by this gemstone makes it one of the rarest and most majestic gemstones. Like other varieties, Trapiche zamruds can also be synthesized in labs and treated with oil and epoxy resins.
