I've recently come into about 10,000 carats of uncut gems and I'm trying to figure out how to get the most out of them. The info I've come across so far tells me to clean and tumble them first and then inspect them for value but I'm not sure if this is the right start and even if it is how do I know which stones will be best to send to a Gem cutter so that I'm not just wasting my time. Any idea's would be appreciative.

Out of a swarm of bees 1/5 settled in a field, 1/3 settled on a stone. 3 times the difference of those numbers flew to the bloom of a Kataja flower. one bee which remained hovered in the air, tell me the number of bees.

8 rubies, 10 emeralds and 100 pearls are in a set of earrings. The sum of the prices of the 3 sorts of gems were 3 less then half a hundred. Tell me the price of each gem.

Good Luck! First person to write out the equations and get both questions right get best answer!

My best friend, Shelby Jones, is SERIOUSLY mad at me. She's really just mad at me because I'm mad at her. But I keep appologizing and stuff, but she never accepts. I've tried notes, emails, talking to her, having my friends talk to her, and having her friends talk to her. NOTHING HAS WORKED! I don't know what to do. How do you think I could get her to forgive me. This whole fight is REALLY killing me. We've been best friends for six years, and I can't let that end. Not so soon, anyway. Plus, her birthday is August 10, and I'm getting her a ring with matching earrings. Do you think I should get her rubies, diamonds, or emeralds, or what? And do you think I should let her friend, Mickela, (who is TOTALLY trustworthy) take the present to her party? I mean, how else will I get it to her if we're in a fight? HELP!!!?
I am mad at her because she read notes that my other best friend, Ashley wrote to me saying who Ashley liked when I told her not to, and she is mad at me because I stayed clear of her because we were in a fight before, and I didn't know if we were still fighting. I'm not trying to buy her friendship back, just giving her a present I've been planning for a long time. I am in seventh grade, and she is in sixth. This is the longest fight we've ever been in--and it's only lasted six days so far. We've always been really close, and I don't want our friendship to end. I don't think she does either, but I don't know why she won't forgive me.

Eight Rubies, ten emeralds, and one hundred pearls which are in thy earring, my beloved, here purchased by me for thee at an equal amount, and the sum of the prices of the three gems were three less than half a hundred, tell me the price of each, auspicious woman.

Thanks

what's so good about them that they're worth having little african children put their soul into finding and processing them?

Why do rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds vary in color within the same gem type?
