It’s so beautiful, wonderful and perfect to a museum where people can share it.

Its called dyed white beryl. It’s for sale all over ebay. There are thousands of large stones for sale on ebay and all of them say they are the worlds largest. Just go type worlds biggest emerald on ebay and see what you get! All with the same story, mined in Brazil and dyed and cut in India and all have so called certificates of authenticity from gemologists. If they were real emeralds they would not be selling on ebay for hundreds of dollars. If anyone pays more than $100 for this stone they are pretty stupid when they can go on ebay and buy the same thing for a few hundred dollars! Experts have confirmed there is no way to tell the original colour because of the dye. Any gemologist who says its authentic is only guessing that it was green to begin with. Experts at GIA say there is no way to tell because of the dye. BUYER BEWARE!
