As always, emeralds require maintenance and disclosure. I think Mary L Johnson's comment (s) via (Gems & Gemology, Summer 2007) was the best. I liked it.
'Like pearls, and unlike most diamonds, your emerald is a delicate stone. It has probably had its fissures filled and sealed in some fashion. You should clean it only with soap and water, and avoid ultrasonic cleaning or harsh chemicals. If you notice a change, bring it back and we will be happy to have it resealed (just as we would help you be cleaning your jewelry, or replacing watch batteries). If you are concerned about the extent to which it is enhanced, we can get a laboratory report for you.'
Now it's up to the gem and jewelry industry to act instead of endless talk.
