I don't see very many people tumble and polish emeralds...tricky material to work with.

Aren't emeralds supposed to be green? Those look more like turquoise (color-wise)... Nice though, whatever, lol.

Facet grade emeralds are usually green. These are from Brazil (cheap) and they do have a little bit more blue tinge in them. These are not solid emeralds: the grey stuff is a smokey quartz matrix holding the emeralds. I don't think these stones are clear enough to see dichroism (which emeralds have), I think it is just the lighting in the photo.
Image above is of the same material: the first image has an LED light pressed up against it, and the second is at ambient room light.
