The Cleopatra Emerald

The Cleopatra emerald
The Cleopatra Emerald was first found by Cleopatra herself when she ruled Ancient Egypt. She then decided to split it down to the middle and give half of it to Marc Antony. Then he went off to battle the Romans and died, while Cleopatra kept the other half and died. It was discovered in Cleopatra's tomb 100 kilometers from Alexandria in one of her treasure chambers by the Miller family. Three days into the documentation process, the mother went into premature labour and had an assistant to overlook the work while the mother rested. In 2 weeks, the assistant, Oliver Kelly the First, took everything from the tomb, packed it, and hauled it through the Mediterranean and sold it all to the highest bidder. The current owner of the emerald is Oliver Kelly the Third and is held in a high-security box in a Swiss bank by Oliver Kelly Corporation, considered the greatest auction house in the world. The Antony emerald location is however unknown.

Physical Appearance
The emerald is to be described by Kat as "97 karats of pure, flawless green the colour of Ireland in springtime." It is the biggest emerald in the world.
