Beryl?

ber′yl·line (-ə-lĭn, -līn′) adj. beryl. (Minerals) a white, blue, yellow, green, or pink mineral, found in coarse granites and igneous rocks. It is a source of beryllium and is sometimes used as a gemstone; the green variety is emerald, the blue is aquamarine.
22)Yes definitely Beryl
Beryl Burton, OBE (12 May 1937 – 5 May 1996) was an English racing cyclist who dominated women’s cycle racing in the UK, winning more than 90 domestic championships and seven world titles, and setting numerous national records. She set a women's record for the 12-hour time-trial which exceeded the men's record for two years.

thats the first ones connection

struggling with number two
89)Yes I'm struggling with that one as well Emmie.
89. Possibly ... West coast (of Africa), where Gold Coast (now Ghana) & Ivory Coast (Côte d’Ivoire) are next to each other.
could be, but what's the answer....
Does the answer have to be something precious, or is the ‘precious’ bit in the clue?
Could it be as simple as West Coast?
Question Author
Thanks for Beryl, as for the gold and ivory I was also thinking along the lines of West Africa
