[Rockhounds] More foolishness about the '800 million dollar' emerald

[pmodreski at aol.com]

Yeah, the most idiotic thing about all these news stories that the media keep repeating, is referring to this as "an emerald".? For heaven's sakes, it is a big hunk of dirty old rock, with a bunch of emerald-green mostly non-gemmy beryl crystals sticking up out of it.
