1, Cerise french for cherry

Chiefpanda.The question asked was names of gemstones so I dont think cerise is correct.

4. Maple (Canadian gold coin, Maple Leaf)

johnalex, how does Maple fit the quiz in which the answers are Gem Stones, By the way have you got 88, 89 and 92 in the Matlock quiz, I'm begining to think that the compilers have made up the names

johnalex I have been looking out for one of your postings without success! Can you enlighten me?

I also had misgivings about Maple, but was unable to come up with the correct answer! Keep up the good work.

Hi Burgess - Agree 'Maple' is not a gem although often used in rings and jewellery. Couldn't think of another answer! As for Matlock, I'm totally stumped having spent hours pondering the combinations. Like Wendy, will have to call it a day, unless you come up with a new angle. Regardz, ja
