    I don't know of a no-cost reference for gemstone prices of any kind,
    apart from market research in stores, trade shows or on the
    Internet. There are, however, subscription-type references
    available. Unfortunately, most of them require personal and business
    references from another established company, and none are free. To
    add to your friend's confusion, there are almost as many types of
    synthetic emeralds and companies that manufacture them as there are
    natural emeralds, and they are all priced differently. 

    Some price guides for colored stones (there are plenty of others)
    are:
