Here’s the Answer to December’s Gem Quiz

And congratulations to our winner.

Derrick Allen, the winner of our latest Gem Quiz, admits the stone in question had puzzled him long before he picked up the December copy of INSTORE. “What I thought was turquoise for the longest time, was actually hemimorphite,” he explained, adding that it’s not a gemstone that is seen often, “but it’s always a treat” when it does cross his path. Congratulations to Derrick, a jewelry consultant at Graham Jewelers in Wayzata, MN, who wins this month’s “Jewelry Geek” T-shirt. And also to all this month’s Honorable Mentions for providing the correct answer. Well done, everyone.

Wilkerson Testimonials

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
