Through comments made, I have learned that GIA isn't in a position to certify anything or anyone. Sure makes one
wonder about a whole lot of things in todays markets.

Here's my question. Why is this emerald facetted when emeralds do not have luster or radiance, especially this one? Is there added value in the faceting? I do know that the faceting would allow more light to enter at certain angles. I'm just asking because I don't know, but I wonder if this emerald would have had been better off shaped into a highly polished cabochon instead?]]>Aug 27th 2010 12:30PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/08/26/huge-rare-emerald-up-for-auction/http://www.luxist.com/2010/08/26/huge-rare-emerald-up-for-auction/Aug 27th 2010 12:48PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/08/26/huge-rare-emerald-up-for-auction/http://www.luxist.com/2010/08/26/huge-rare-emerald-up-for-auction/
