Anyone have photo examples of blue-ish emeralds?

I am not a green person but I love the jardin and glow of emeralds. I'm thinking a blue-ish one might work. Can anyone please point out examples as I don't think I can see it that well yet?

Who might you suggest as vendors to look at? It can be a smallish size. (I not one to pay big money for most stones, though.)

Oh, and setting in yellow gold brings out the blue more, correct?

Thanks.

Thanks Endless Summer...I have a couple more. I like seeing it close up and looking at all of the oddities that come with the inclusions. At 14 inches (the distance my own old eyes see unaided) it looks mostly clear. Up close- it is a jungle in there :)
Sometimes it flashes red, just caught a red flash on camera :)

EDIT: I agree...yellow gold brings out an emerald very well and is my preferred look with emeralds.

+1, for sure

Beautiful, almost minty colors. This works for me; the near Kelly greens - not so much.

Here are some more pictures of mine. I left green grass in one of the pics, and they all show a variety of lighting - the one with it loose was at night under fluorescent lighting. My tsavorite is actually a slightly blue-ish green, but next to the emerald makes it look lime green!

Thanks for the shout out ES!

ETA: The big blue-green round is my Namibian Tourmaline from Barry. The smaller is my tsavorite from Barry.
