Gem Profile Contest for
December 7, 2012

You know the deal: it’s time to identify 8 rocks from recent gem profiles for the chance to win a $10 gift certificate to Wire-Sculpture.com. The first 5 people to correctly identify them will be the winners!

OK. We’re getting close to Tucson and I think you’ve been getting really good at identifying these stones – so I’m going to get a little tricky! Today I want to know the exact type of stone – just saying “agate” or “jasper” isn’t going to cut it – for example, I want to see “Plume Agate” or “Paintbrush Jasper.” And I threw in a curve ball today, watch out! If you’ve been an avid gem profile reader, you’ll do fine. If you need to review the gem profiles to help you out today, here’s a link: 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! (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: We have our winners! That was a toughie, but you weren’t fooled! Congrats to Louise A., Denise Weese, Christine L., Kelley M, and Frances L. You’ll find your gift certificates in your email shortly!

Good luck, rockhounds!!!
