Gem Quiz

Here’s the Answer to November’s Gem Quiz

WE TOOK AN etymological journey through India, Germany and England as we sought to confound and stymie our dear readers with November’s Gem Quiz. A few may have been thrown off, but not Maryfrances Dunker from Linn & Owen Jewelers in Lansing, MI, or our many Honorable Mentions below. Maryfrances claimed the glittering prize awaiting at the end – a Gem Geek t-shirt. Well, done Maryfrances, and everyone else who worked out Padparadscha sapphire was the answer. We’ll post a new Gem Quiz here soon
