"The Dom Pedro Aquamarine exists today because of one
thing—passion—passion from a great gem dealer, passion from a creative
gem artist, and passion from a serious gem collector. This type of
passion combined with knowledge, vision, talent, and the desire to
preserve and share the wonders of nature is why the Dom Pedro is on
display today at the Smithsonian Institution....
The Dom Pedro is now on exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC."
