Aw, Dang, I already have a yellow.

Did you see that 1418.5 carat, but opaque, pear-shapped emerald?

 

[LD]

Nope. It's too small for me.

 

[y2kitty]

Wow, I'd love to know the story behind that one!

Me too. Only information is that it is from Ohio.

That would make one nice pendant.

Wild! Thanks for the link Kismet. Money laundering must be lucrative to get your hands on a diamond like that.
