Gem Quiz

Here’s the Answer to October’s Gem Quiz

OCTOBER IS HOME to Halloween, that time of the year when the dark side emerges from the underworld to grip popular attention. It thus seemed apt to shine a light on onyx, arguably the most popular dark gemstone in America, as last month’s mystery stone. H. Michael Rose, owner of H.M. Rose Jewelry Design, in Naples, FL, saw through our verbal tricks and gets the treat – a cool Gem Geek t-shirt. Well done, Michael and all our Honorable Mentions, who also identified onyx correctly. Keep your eyes on this space. A new Gem Quiz will be appearing soon.
