Suddenly, the world is extremely rare emerald, fine quality are per carat (0.2 grams) worth thousands of dollars, and some quite beautiful and can be resistant to "long" gems (such as amethyst), due to production more, extraction easier, the price has been low. Some common rocks, after pondering upon the characteristics of a beautiful and durable, but can not become a member of family gem, the reason is that things will be easy to get cheap.
