    BJ, With all due respect...... Decent emerald at $18/c in 10x5 MQ? I
    have been involved with colored stones for well over 35 years, and,
    uh,  something's not right, if those stones are at  all decent
    looking.  You mentioned that you have been in the jewelry business a
    short time.  You'd better have those ston= es checked by someone
    competent, like Professional Gem Services in Chicago or GIA. I have
    no dog in this race, but those prices are not possible and I'd guess
    you are being fleeced.............
