That is why I wouldn't want to buy them over the Internet. But perhaps this is the very reason that they would distribute over the Internet....formal channels might not be interested in the gemstones that they can produce. I don't know enough about the actual precious gem business to be a really good judge though. JXM

" Emeralds are not as hard as sapphire or diamond. For them to end up in a clay deposit the have to be eroded from their igneous matrix, travel a bumpy ride down a mountain and smash against every hard rock in the way...finally settling in the silt." I know of no alluvial process that would concentrate beryl or corundum crystals of any size in a clay matrix. I suspect that any such deposit would be the result of bedrock weathering in place or with minimal transport.
