Learn all about the quintessential green gemstone, emeralds!  On this episode we discuss how emeralds are created synthetically in the lab, how fossilized seashells can be completely replaced by emerald crystals and a side-track into why ouzo turns milky when you add water.  Of course we also have our helpful glossary of scientific terms and a fun fact for your next cocktail party.
