I didn't get the answer, but love your explanations...
Is there going to be a diamond one?
Nah! I think I am done with the gemstone theme! I am looking for some other equally interesting theme at the moment, which could double up as a language teaser and be informative at the same time.
I didn't get the final answer correct, but I had fun!
I've never heard of citrine, which is why I got all seven letters but got completely stuck in the unsrambling stage. Still, another great Gemstone teaser and very enjoyable!
