Light colored emerald vs green beryl, which should I buy? Calling all emerald experts!

I'm kind of floored that there is a stone that is "reasonable" in such a lovely color. My hiccup is that I assume all Emeralds start at $1000 and go from there.

No, you can find lovely affordable emeralds. I cannot say the same for certain gems like alexandrite or ruby, where you have to pay $$$$$ to get a decent stone.

@CSpan Thanks for the tip! I have Yvonne’s page bookmarked

I regularly comb through eBay, etsy, and ruby lane as well! Fingers crossed!
