Rough diamond prices may have faltered lately on tighter credit for traders, cutters and polishers, but emeralds are still going strong, according to Ian Harebottle, entrepreneurial chief executive officer of Gemfields (GEM). The AIM-quoted company, whose shares have risen from a 12-month low of 37.75p to 67.75p and even trade above their 2005 float price of 45p, has unveiled a near-tripling of output in the first three months of this year to 9.9 million carats of emeralds and beryl from its 75%-owned Kagem mine in Zambia.
