SUGILITE, OUR MYSTERY gemstone in June, was named for the Japanese petrologist Ken-ichi Sugi. The winner of our June Gem Quiz was another enthusiastic gem geek, Ira Kramer, owner of the Diamond Exchange of North Florida in Tallahassee, FL. Congratulations Ira! Wear your geek t-shirt proudly. And well done also to all our honorable mentions below. A new Gem Quiz will go online soon. Please look out for it at instoremag.com/fun/gem-quiz.
