Look
At
That
Giant
Emerald!
Ok, so it's not exactly an emerald the way we generall think about emeralds. Apparently, this 57,500 carat, 25 lbs., beauty is enhanced (dyed) green beryl. Now, beryl is, indeed, the mineral that emerald comes from (emerald is a rare form of beryl) but not all beryl is rare or valuable. If this stone is actually enhanced green beryl, then it's a kind of "emerald light" as I understand it. But, it's suspected to be white beryl, dyed a strong green, and not green beryl, or traditional emerald.
Which may be just as well...how'd you ever make this thing into a ring?
