    For those of you who got the opportunity to watch it I wonder if you
    share my amazement. Well done Hans! 

    I can't wait to see "Green fever : The Columbian Emerald" in one
    week. What really amused me was the camera over the people plucking
    the topaz crystals from the gravel. This got me to wondering about
    the authenticity of the Imperial topaz I have in my "collection".
    They are yellow as opposed the the prized orange stones. Which brings
    me to my question: How much does it cost to get stones tested and
    appraised by places such as the "Canadian Gemmological Association",
    and what experiences have you had doing so?
