4. Amethyst is my very favourite
There is a huge geode at a rock hound store near here and if I ever win the lottery, I'm buying it. The asking price is $2500.00 - but it's beautiful. The amethyst is so dark.

9. Have you ever been to a gem & mineral show?
You often can find wonderful quality specimens for far less $ than you'd pay in a shop.

For the information. I'm not sure if Victoria has ever had one. But if there is ever one here I will go for sure.

12. Professional wrestler turned, er, *cough* actor *cough*.
Calls himself "The Rock". Appeared as the Scorpion King in "The Mummy 2", then got a couple of movies as main character. (One of those, unsurprisingly, "The Scorpion King")
