11.* a semiprecious gemstone, of sphenoidal crystal structure; yellow to yellow-green in color; found principally in mountainous areas of Turkey
*
12.* one whose wrongdoings have been made public, usually by the press.
*
13.* a blue-green crystalline halide mineral found chiefly in the Middle East; it is widely used in the production of ceramic glazes and
specialized optical lenses.

[France International]

I'll go for 8 and 14.

[Dodi Schultz]

I think I'll forget all of the crystals and other minerals and go for
the least likely:

> 2. Displaying characteristics of being newly made, or newborn.

and
> 14. Any of an extinct group of cephalopods with conical, usually
> ringed shells; a fossil shell of such an animal

—Dodi

[Dave Cunningham]

1 and 12 as especially improbable.

[John Barrs]

The 21st degree of what? -- that sounds so unlikley that it is probably
correct !!

- however, I'm going for the new-world God of the harvest and the old-world
wood-like mineral -- that's #1 and #5 please

dark to read. Groucho Marx



14. Any of an extinct group of cephalopods with conical, usually ringed
shells; a fossil shell of such an animal



16. a soft magnesite mineral (MgHCO2) that dissolves readily in water.

[Paul Keating]

I’ll vote for the petrified wood on Mt. Ararat because the etymology is irresistible, and, eschewing all other minerals, crystals, geological or areological formations ... (errm, that doesn’t leave much does it?) 4.

[Tim B]

2 and 14, please.

Best wishes,
Tim B.

[Guerri Stevens]

I vote for 3 and 7.

Numbers 7 and 12 for me, please.

-- Dick Weltz


..


7. A Freemason who has taken the 21st degree.


12. one whose wrongdoings have been made public, usually by the press.

[Matthew]

My votes go to:
*
4.* a deep green pigment.

and

10.* A mineral of a gray, red, brown, or green color, and glistening
luster.

--Matthew Grieco

[Tony Abell]

I'll try the irresistible 5 and prosaic 14:

> 5.* a mineral purportedly found at Mt. Ararat resembling wood.
*
> 14.* Any of an extinct group of cephalopods with conical, usually ringed
> shells; a fossil shell of such an animal

[Tim Lodge]

There's a wide selection of minerals, but I'll pick the Freemason and
the rather vague crystal:

7 and 15 please.

-- Tim L

[—Keith Hale—]

I predicted many stone-related defs, but didn't expect this many!

From the remaining non-geological submissions, i will go with #s 4 & 12, please.

[Jim Hart]

I'm tempted by a Mayan Freemason but I'll try the other non-
geologicals at 12 and 14

Jim

[Daniel Widdis]

Mars and Masons. 3 and 7.
