Afghan Emerald

[sixguns]

After coming back off mission, I went down to the local bazzar and after dickering with the shopkeeper for awhile, I finally got this 3 or 4 kt emerald... He wanted $200 for it, but when the dust settled, I got it for $40.... Have to work on my retirement fund, hahahahahahaha

wow, that stone has a very desirable color and if it is relatively free of inclusions it could be worth a lot of money... try 15 times what you paid for it at least.

You got a good deal. Of all the stones emerald is the best one to have.
