OUR WINNER LAST month was Christl Karlsson from Torgny & Co. in Westlake Village, CA, who correctly answered “iolite”. “Being of Viking decent I hope I have done my heritage proud,” Christl said in reference to our clue about seafaring Norsemen using the gemstone to help them navigate. Well done, Christl, who gets a Gem Geek t-shirt for her intellectual raiding of INSTORE’s shores, as well as to all our honorable mentions below, who also guessed correctly. Keep an eye out for July’s Gem Quiz. It will be posted soon.
