    Hi Blaine, I understand that cedar oil treatment for emeralds is
    acceptable and almost always takes place.  I have bought several
    large good quality emeralds at a reasonable price from an Internet
    company selling Columbian emeralds.  My emeralds are not oily and
    cleaning emeralds should never be INTENSIVE as they almost always
    have inclusions and can be damaged by intensive cleaning.  A
    completely clear emerald of good color would cost you many thousands
    of dollars. 

    Here is the link for the Colombians in Florida selling their lovely
    wares: 

    http://www.emeraldsplaza.com/ 

    They also give a good explanation of what to expect in an emerald
    stone on their web site. 

    I hope this message will be posted.  I have sent several and none
    have ever been posted.  I don't know what I am doing wrong. 

Laura
