A strange business


As you may know I am not very impressed with gemstones; with the fuss,expense and particularly the violence that seems to accompany them.  However the development of a possibly ethical emerald business based in London but operating in Africa reveals some of the strangeness of the gem industry and some of its possibilities.  The oddest thing for me though, is how many people are swayed by the marketing of these shiny and sparkly bits of rock.
