Gem Quiz

Here’s the Answer to September’s Gem Quiz

WITH THE GEM QUIZ, as in life, it helps to have some local knowledge. And that was the case of Lisa Tompkins, of Tompkins Jewellers in the Canadian province of Alberta, which also happens to be the site of the first major commercial production of September’s mystery stone – Ammolite. “Ammolite (the jewelry) and ammonite (the fossil) are found near my hometown of Lethbridge, Alberta. We have been recognized as one of the very first retailers of ammolite in the world,” she proudly notes. So, in addition to that recognition, Lisa can also add the title of Gem Quiz winner in September. Well done, Lisa, and all our Honorable Mentions below.
