Slightly impractical as a piece of jewellery, but I assume for that price the forklift truck is included?

BTW - the nicest looking emerald cluster I have ever seen is at the Amsterdam-Sauer "museum" in Rio. Much smaller than this one, but lovely gemmy bluish-green crystals, all terminated. Weight about 15 kg (33 lbs) if I recall correctly.

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

I thought it was one giant emerald but I see that there's several nodules in that clump.  Or are my eyes decieving me?

I am wondering the same as Chrono- is there a better photo somewhere?  I don't think this rock is very practical though

Not sure, my baby bro sent me a text this AM telling me about it.  I got the picture off Yahoo.  Just one piece... That's all I need... Just one of those crystals!  I'd make a ring lol!

Me too.  I'm not greedy; I don't need the whole thing, just one clean crystal for faceting.
