Semi-protected edit request on 15 August 2017
Please update the external link of the ICA's emerald page to this one (we're updating the website): http://gemstone.org/education/gem-by-gem/153-emerald Also, the correct name of the organization is International Colored Gemstone Association. Thank you! ICAgemstone (talk) 15:38, 15 August 2017 (UTC) ICAgemstone (talk) 15:38, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

King of Canada is a hoax?
There is an IP-editor who keeps on trying to post a reference to the "King of Canada" emerald as one of the most notable Emeralds in the world and then adding a reference that re-directs to a Gemstone business. I can't find any reference to the "King of Canada Sean Robert Gehani Emerald" except for one low-grade website here, which is odd given that most notable Emeralds have their own WP page (and generate lots of Google hits). There was even an ANI on this raised by editor Meters, and others, who said that it is a hoax by a long-standing sockpuppet Freecomwireless, however, I can't find the old link to the ANI. This IP editor even went to report me as WP:VD on the noticeboard (which was declined), as I kept reverting their edits and reference to their Gemstone business (as part of the "Pending Changes" reviews as the article is protected). I am leaving this notice for other "Pending Changes" reviewers to be aware of this situation. Britishfinance (talk) 19:10, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

 * The SPI is Sockpuppet investigations/Freecomwireless. The recent ANI thread (not started by me) is Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive998. Anything to do with bogus "King of Canada" gems is this case. Meters (talk) 02:42, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Notable?
Not (currently) on the list;

These sites and  say 11,000 carats for the Fura emerald found in 1999. I’m guessing that’s uncut.

“Fura” is also a mountain and an (emerald) mining company.

And a god (goddess, in the old language) Colombian emeralds.

Has a picture of the mountains.
