Need advice on emeralds

[Edwin]

Hi,

I have some questions regarding emeralds;

1) Are there size/weight differences between the male and female?
2) Is there a guide to sexing baby emeralds?
3) I prefer emeralds with solid colours and very little splotching, are the splotches on it as a baby permanent?
4) What about the whites on babies, would a brighter white now stay with it when it is fully grown?
5) Are there any specifics I should look for when picking a baby emmie?


I am totally new to emeralds, and may be obtaining one next month. Hope you dont mind the newbie questions... I am very excited!!!!


Thanks,
Edwin
