IN THE QUIZ business, you sometimes have to go with the obvious and hope people will doubt themselves. Not Sherry Yarnel, a Certified Master Appraiser and GIA Graduate Gemologist who could probably spot a ruby – our mystery stone — from 30 feet. Sherry is the winner of our March Gem Quiz and takes home a Gem Geek t-shirt. We’d also like to give a special mention to Lori Moyer, owner of L. Moyer Designs in State College, PA, who didn’t name a daughter after her favorite red gemstone but did give that honor to her car (see photo below).
Congratulations also to all our honorable mentions who correctly answered our quiz. If you haven’t won yet, please keep trying. We’ll be posting a new quiz in the next day or so.
