I know there has been previous discussions about the gemstones in the so called Tunisian suite. As I was searching, I was struck by this photo. It is the only time when I felt sure that the cabochon green stones were emeralds. Previously I had thought the stones looked opaque and a different colour from emeralds. The photo, from the Bridgeman image library is dated 1975. The earliest photo I saw was in Getty dated 1971 but unfortunately I didn't take a copy.
