I bought the rough and had it cut in Bangkok. This stone looks like the best possible emerald, but is only quartz made in Russia. I was told that they have a process to color natural quartz, but that doesn't make any sense to me, since it should be cheaper and easier just to make colored quartz in the lab. Anyway, it is a neat little stone. If you are a beginning collector click here for some useful information To Purchase Send check or money order or you can use PayPal John Macpherson P.O.
