Cluster of lab grown Emeralds created by a man named Carroll Chatham of San Francisco, California. Chatham first started experimenting growing crystals in his garage as a 12 year old boy, later graduated from the California Institute of Technology, and perfected the process to grow emeralds in 1938. These are real Emeralds, just grown in a lab simulating natural processes of the earth. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection.
