KATHY JENKINS FROM Bravo Jewellers in Carlsbad, CA was the winner of our February Gem Quiz and she couldn’t be better credentialed. Nope, we’re not talking about her GIA GG, AJP, JDT certifications but the fact she’s from California, official home to our mystery gem – benitoite. Even better, she’s actually been to the mine to dig it up. Sorry, everyone else, you never had a chance.
Well done, everyone who got the answer right (see our list below) and a special thank you to Christina Grande from Richters Jewelry in Londonderry, NH, who correctly noted the photo we used in the magazine in February wasn’t benitoite. (As we said, you never really had a chance.) Apologies to anyone who was confused.
