How well have you been paying attention during the gem profiles? :) Click here to review our Gem Profiles.

Gem Profile Contest: Name that Rock!

It’s pretty simple: Below are 8 pictures from Gem Profiles that we’ve published on the Blog. Simply leave a comment below identifying each stone in order, and you could win! (Because these are mostly types of agate and chalcedony, please be specific: for an example, we would want to see “paintbrush jasper,” not just “jasper.”) The first 5 comments with the correct answers will each win a $10 gift certificate to Wire-Sculpture!

Update: Congratulations Tatiana, Janet, Mary Jean, Frances, and Judi! You’ll be receiving your gift certificates via email today. Thanks for participating, everyone!!

Good luck, rockhounds!!!
