Miss Piggy would love that rock she loves green things. Awesome emerald, looks like it might be a bit heavy to wear as a pendant.

Barney Frank is demanding it be used to build the Emerald city so he can click his ruby slippers together and say there’s no place like home.

Isn't it amazing that it was found with all those facets?!

Seriously, from the video it looked like junk. Seems to me its claim to fame is size, not quality. Maybe a Freeper gemologist could offer some insight on this stone?

The appraiser admits the stone has been dyed but said it is 100 per cent an emerald.

Fake but accurate.

Where have I heard that in recent years?

Its worth would have been to a specimen collector or museum if left in its natural state within its matix. Now some buyer says -what will I do with that? I'd would have loved to have seen the pocket that thing came from.

The only advantage to marrying a rich man.....emeralds my very favorite gem....Do you think you and I could pool our money and buy that necklass? We could take turns wearing it....I would wear it when I go to the Tractor Supply store and the grain elevator,. You would have your favorite places to wear it. GG

Diamonds are ok also..
