![Congratulations to Paula Dilley McCray for winning our $20 Gift Certificate.
In 1985 When Dave and Kay Cowell bought Anderson Jewelers there were in fact two other jewelry stores in Taylorville one being Bells Jewelry that everyone seemed to remember and House of Nostalgia that was right next door to the Taylorville Cinema. I Think it was the early90’s when they closed. Congrats again Paula and come in anytime to claim.

In 1985 when David and Kay Cowell bought Anderson Jewelers how many other jewelry stores were in town and who were they?]()
![Congrats to Shaika Pollard for guessing correctly first.
Scientists using two different age-determining techniques have shown that a tiny zircon crystal found on a sheep ranch in western Australia dates back to 4.4 billion years ago.
"This is the oldest reliably dated piece of the Earth that we have, that anyone knows of," John Valley told CBS News. Valley, a University of Wisconsin geoscience professor, led the research team. Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience on Sunday, the team said the discovery indicates that Earth's crust formed relatively soon after the planet formed and that the little gem was a remnant of it.
Zircon is the correct answer
Trivia Time!!!!!

What is considered to be the oldest mineral mined today for gemstones?]()
![Congratulations to Any Anderson Christopher for guessing correctly. Amy won a $50 Gift certificate. You can come in to claim it anytime. Now I did have mispelling and meant to say Russalite which is mined in Siberia and can only be mined about 3 months through out the year and is just a beautiful green color. We have a few pieces in stock. But since I did put RUSSELITE this is what I found.
Russellite is a bismuth tungstate mineral with the chemical formula Bi2WO6.[1] It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system. Russellite is yellow or yellow-green in color, with a Mohs hardness of 3 1⁄2.[1]
Russellite is named for the mineralogist Sir Arthur Russell, and the type locality is the Castle-an-Dinas Mine,[1] near St Columb Major in Cornwall, where it was found in 1938 in wolframite.[4] It occurs as a secondary alteration of other bismuth bearing minerals in tin - tungsten hydrothermal ore deposits, pegmatites and greisens. It typically occurs associated with native bismuth, bismuthinite, bismite, wolframite, ferberite, scheelite, ferritungstite, anthoinite, mpororoite, koechlinite, cassiterite, topaz, muscovite, tourmaline and quartz.[2]
