     A square stone in the trade is usually called a 'Princess' cut
and a rectangular shape is a 'Baguette' cut - just in case you do want
to order either of these.

   As for green gemstones, here's quite a good page for the more

  Of course, there is emerald too, but they can be *really* expensive.
