For once, I've heard a presenter speaking knowledgably about Emeralds! Thank you Derek! :7: :59:
Normally you hear presenters (especially the idiotic Queen of Sparkle) saying how you MUST see inclusions in Emeralds otherwise they're not really Emeralds which makes my blood boil![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Today Derek said that the finest Emeralds are clean, and whilst it's nice to see inclusions because it confirms that an Emerald is real (as opposed to synthetic) he was clear that having a cloudy shite Emerald was not good!
He then went on to explain how Zambian Emeralds can be too dark and the material is less desirable (on the whole) to the bright Colombian Emerald.
Thank you Derek for being the very first presenter I've heard give good, informative information. I know Derek's Dad was a gemologist (or something along those lines) so he's obviously picked up a wealth of info along the way. He's just joked that he read up on Emeralds this morning and that Wikipedia told him all he knew ............. pinnochio Derek!!!
