London is having one of those "everybody decorate a fiberglass animal" contests, this of elephants to raise money for Asian elephant conservation. One of the participating entries is an emerald-bedecked elephant by Sabine Roemer, currently on display at Selridge's "wonder room". The fiberglass beast is decorated with small emerald beads, emerald dust and set with a single 678ct Indian emerald in the forehead. I believe that stone was cut from a 6225ct rough that was found in a Gemfields mine earlier this year.
You can see that massive oval stone in a frontal view of the elephant's head

That stone was provided by Gemfields as part of their current collaboration on a collection of emerald-set elephant-themed jewelry.
