Hi davegibson !
Many Thanks
I did not know that VLC replaced the original emeralds with turquoises on Marie-Louise's imperial Crown and that is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History ...

Suppose the emeralds were replaced because of their monetary value. The emeralds were re-set by Van Cleef and Arpeles into contemporary jewelry and sold as a emerald from the historic Napoleonic tiara

Thanks for the thumbs up Barbra I am working on my amber website, the good thing about a website is you can keep adding to it, making it into a more comprehensive article on Mexican amber
