    I did use association with aquamarine a bit loosely, but the general
    thrust of the sentence is valid. However, the point is well taken.
    Since emerald and aquamarine forms under different condition, the
    two should not be compared. But you should agree that if we take a
    lab-grown emerald, it would stand much better to the abuse then a
    natural. That is probably a better comparison.
