I suppose they are quite expensive. Can't wait to see them after you're done polishing them. Cher

Those are some great looking Emeralds. Where did you get yours? I see a few that look like they've really got some size and color to them. Can't wait to see them finished. Mine have been in for three days now without noticable change. I'm still waiting for my order from Verzazio.

I've posted up a couple of threads in the Tumbled emeralds thread. River Otter's emeralds... they were tumbled dry for quite a while to get the maxrix off. something you might consider trying. Alice

I need emeralds too, its not fair !!!! pouts, with big droopy lip ;D

I;ve been looking at ebay but they are very pricey £6 + postage for about 150 grams. It would cost a lot to make a load up at that price so I've left them - unless someone can point me to a cheaper option

Those look great Tami, can't wait to see the finished product

I just kept watching Ebay and trying end runs on the auctions.
