"I have this, and that I don't"...
Does that mean that the letters t-h-i-s are in the stone's name and not t-h-a-t? Not that I can figure out what stone it would then refer to... but it was an idea I had...

I see the answer I did miss
was given 10 hours before this
and that because of clever rhyme
I did not see the truth in time
and therefore asked about a clue
not realizing the quiz was through.
I see your meter is better than mine,
not only that, but you can rhyme.
try is I might to make a fit,
when I try it turns to unmetered, unrhyming, and mispelled junk.
I have just come back from flinders ranges in South Australia, where I (actually my 8 year old son) picked up a nice lump of rock with a big vein of hematite crystals running through it. I will take a photo, and have a glass of red while I re-read these posts...

[quote="africanuck"]Ok, to break down the clues:
This and that = two elements in the gem
This will gel = water or perhaps silicone
That won't gem = could be anything but carbon
Wine to what = water (see clue two)
Know you what? this OR that?
If this you know, you know that! = One of the two elements only occurs in one type of gem.
This i have in vane tried = is found in veins (and Ux4 makes spelling mistakes)
This to that I have lead = may contain lead (may not mean anything)
-such an effort, my face red. = is red or has a red streak
Even though it doesn't fit clue number two which should be water, I'm going to say Hematite.[/quote] :D :D
