Aw shucks, I missed the auction
-
Cartier crafted it, Van Cleef & Arpels acquired it, and Harry Winston transformed it. This object of fascination is none other than the world’s most expensive green stone, a stunning 37-carat emerald set in a Cartier diamond and emerald brooch that was auctioned at Christie’s Geneva on November 12. This rare square-cut emerald, once owned by Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, achieved unparalleled beauty when Cartier encased it in a brooch adorned with 20 marquise-cut diamonds for his wife, Nina Dyer, a former model who adopted the title Princess Nina Aga Khan.

Green is my favorite color but emeralds are not on my list of favorite gems.
I don't like inclusions. Heat is the only treatment that doesn't bother me much. I guess it doesn't bother me for tanzanite I'd be ok with it for sapphire depending on the quality of the material and the jewelry being made. I'm thinking about good quality material and fair quality jewelry.
There are many other green gems.
But that's just me.

I was in a local jewellers a fortnight ago and was shown a fabulous tanzanite ring. £13,000
I kid you not, stunning rich blue, large of course.
It's gone
