    Aloha  Nilesh, In today's age, trust is an issue.  Knowing and
    trusting the source of any gem, colored or diamonds is important. 
    There are gemstone suppliers who are willing to put their name on
    the line by supplying a certificate of authenticity, in an appraisal
    form.  This ensures the buyer what they are purchasing and the
    associated treatments for the particular stone that is being
    purchased. 

    I have found such a treasure of a Gemstone Wholesaler who does this
    for every stone sold, in addition, sells at prices at are
    unbelievably low.  The make their money in bulk purchases, guarantee
    their gems, and have a wonderful return policy.  Suppliers like
    these are hard to come by, but none the less, there are still many
    honorable companies out there. In purchasing any gemstone, be it an
    Emerald, or other type, it is the supplier's responsibility to
    disclose what type of treatment, if any, was done to that particular
    stone and the long term effect it will have on it.  Saying all of
    this, I still know of reputable dealers who do sell quality gems and
    at affordable prices.  Of course, as with any type of gem purchase,
    weight, color, clarity, cut, and especially knowing the origin will
    affect the end price.  Nevertheless, buying an Emerald can still be
    done at an affordable price, accompanied with an appraisal, and a 30
    day money back guarantee if the buyer chooses not to accept the
    parcel, the buyer may return it;  no questions asked.  These types
    of suppliers are rare in deed, but they are out there. 

    What it takes is stamina at the computer to search the world over,
    purchase a small lot from a supplier, test their claims, review
    their gems, and then realize that the true gem is not the Emerald
    but the dealer that backs their every word and claim.  Natural Jade
    for less than .15 per carat, Emeralds (eye clean) for less than
    $13.00 per carat depending on size, weight, cut, and origin are
    available, along with those one of a kind Emeralds that start at
    about $155.00 per carat that can be traced to its origin and comes
    with a certificate are out there.  Even Imperial Chrysoprase  in the
    new Trillion cut 11mm  cab style, bright apple green from Australia,
    can be purchased for less than $19.00 per piece and not per carat. 

    One just needs to know the right supplier who knows their source,
    trust the supplier's reputation, know that the company always
    discloses any material facts about the gems being purchased, and
    offers a money back guarantee, that states much about one's
    supplier. 

    I personally have tested the gemstones from my source and have found
    that what they say is true, that they back their word, and with
    every gemstone, an appraisal is attached.  All of this is still done
    for less money than most dealers I have dealt with in the past. 

    Good luck in finding the right source and the right Emerald.  Make
    certain the supplier knows the source of their gems and can
    guarantee it if you don't like it, send it back for a refund.  What
    a deal.  What a supplier. 

    Happy New to all Orchid List Members, BJ in Hawaii
