How to pronounce “emeralds” in English

For example, we can tell certain emeralds come from Colombia because of parisite inclusions in them.

In the 1940s, people were as likely to buy rubies or sapphires or emeralds as they were diamonds.

So people would begin with selenite, or topaz, or other things that are clear, and dye them, basically, to look like emeralds, or rubies, or something like that.

So in case you really are looking for a project to do this Halloween week, definitely recommend trying to make your own emeralds or rubies.
