QOD Monday 12-10 "BIRTHSTONES"
Hey, they can't all have clever titles! I know, I know, like any of them have been that clever so far. Ha! Both weekend QODs will be open until Midnight Mountain tonight.
12/10 BIRTHSTONES
There are a lot of different birthstone designations, but I am looking for the modern birthstone for each month, as established by the ANRJA in 1912.
1. February
2. October
3. August
4. January
5. May
QOD: In 2002, a stone was added to the official birthstone list, for the first time since Citrine was added in 1938. What is this stone?
5 Point Bonus: What is the designated month for said stone?
5 Point Bonus Bonus: Sapphires come in all the colours of the rainbow, except one. What is it and why?

Wasn't there a question like this on Millionaire? I'll guess it might be red, because that would be a ruby.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

2. October - Both opal and pink tourmaline, two of my favorites even though it isn't my birth month. I have both in my little rock collection from years ago. I particularly like watermelon tourmaline.
3. August - Citrine? Not sure this is right since it is noted below. I know July and September (which end up being part of the bonus!) but drawing a blank on August.
4. January - Garnet, another in my little rock collection. Have dug up more than a few garnets over the years.
5. May - Emerald, my favorite even though it is not my birth month either since green is my favorite color.

A red sapphire is a ruby. It is still the same base stone, corundum, but not called a sapphire.

So it is nomenclature rather than gemology.

Back when I was on that other (non-BAM) show, I memorized all of these. Unfortunately, that was over 2 1/2 years ago, and I've forgotten most of them. Fortuanately, I was just talking about the list not too long ago, for pub-quiz stuff, so I remember a couple of them (and my own birthstone is on the list, so that's a quick couple of points!).
1. Amythyst
2. Topaz?
3. Saphhire? Probably not, since you mention that one in your bonus bonus...
4. Garnet
5. Emerald (that's the gimme)
QOD: I'll pass, although it's probably either Moisinite or Tanzanite.
Bonus: One in 12 shot... December?
Bonus Bonus: Red, since a red sapphire is known as a ruby.

Re: QOD Monday 12-10 "BIRTHSTONES"
Spoiler
There are a lot of different birthstone designations, but I am looking for the modern birthstone for each month, as established by the ANRJA in 1912.
1. February -- WAG pearl
2. October -- opal
3. August -- Being an August baby myself, I'll go with sardonyx; I'm thinking peridot was added later because sardonyx is so dang ugly.
4. January -- amethyst
5. May -- emerald?
QOD: In 2002, a stone was added to the official birthstone list, for the first time since Citrine was added in 1938. What is this stone? -- Dunno. But if it's peridot, I'll just plotz. Tanzanite rings a dim bell, but I got nothin'.
5 Point Bonus: What is the designated month for said stone? -- Given a 1 out of 12 chance, I'll go with December.
5 Point Bonus Bonus: Sapphires come in all the colours of the rainbow, except one. What is it and why? -- red, because then it would be a ruby (either that or "green, because then it would be an emerald")
