And congratulations to our winner.
It’s always great to have a winner who also happens to love the gem in question. And that was the case this month, with Peter Hannes IV from Koehn & Koehn Jewelers in West Bend, WI.
“My absolute most favorite gemstone in the world is a demantoid. This is its mineral, andradite.”
And andradite garnet it was.
Congratulations Peter, who will receive a “Jewelry Geek” T-shirt. And also to all this month’s Honorable Mentions for providing the correct answer.
