I still think their Tourmalines. Very common back that way, although there are Carolina Emeralds back there, but if these are emeralds, that would be a rare find indeed. Yes, Megan, go ahead, you can quote me and try and make a fool out of me like everybody else you deal with. It's ok, were all used to it by now. Don't forget to give us the scientific reason they are emeralds and the spot price of the gold based on todays Japanese market, adjusted for Grenwich Mean Time (and the chart too!), and the difference between a Tourmaline and an Emerald based on their crystal structure, and how only an Emerald would be able to fit in that precise a setting, etc., etc., etc. What do we need a jeweler for we have the famous "megan rose". Knower and seeer of all things. Doer deluxe.
