“WOW! FINALLY MADE the big time,” was how Bruce Goodheart responded to the news he had won our September Gem Quiz (correct answer: Zircon). The co-owner of Goodheart’s Jewelry in Overland Park, KS, said he’d been “trying for years.” Enjoy the t-shirt, Bruce! We’d also like to suggest our Honorary Mentions take encouragement from Bruce’s victory and keep going if you still haven’t won despite numerous attempts.
Congratulations everyone who deduced the correct answer.
