The company hired by the owner to sell it said in court papers it had received a $19 million offer, which the company wanted to accept.

It alleged the gemstone's owner then tried to go around the broker to sell the emerald to the same buyer for $75 million.



they tried to screw each other *snicker*

Looking in the ground would be a good start.

To me it looked like several emeralds in some kind of a conglomerate matrix.

Awesome though
