Argh! Why this Quiz sucks!!!

[butterflydreaming]

You scored as Topaz. Not like any other, topaz-types love to stick out from the crowd! They tend to have their own style and make their own decisions and they're rarely afraid to show it. They tend to have many successes because of their own ingenuity and most show their feelings on the outside. They are their own person and many have great imaginations.

First of all, when I saw that enjae was given this same result, two things stood out:
1)Topaz is, by definition, A YELLOW COLOR. Not blue!!! Blue is "blue topaz"; yeah, I know that you see more blue than yellow, but the blue stuff -- it's colorless or badly colored topaz that has been RADIATION TREATED to be blue. Blue topaz does occur in nature, but none of the stuff in stores (and especially not that crystal pictured, I bet) isn't natural.

You may not think that yellow sounds attractive, but this is the stone of Czars. It can be the same beautiful color as a glass of chablis.

2)"Amethyst" is not spelled correctly.

And in the other results:
-THAT IS NOT AN AQUAMARINE! The Hell?!

-Those emeralds have been treated to hide their fractures, I'd be willing to bet money on. Probably oiled... and they still look crappy.

-I'm not sure that's an amethyst, either. Amethysts are rarely cut poorly; there's no need to save weight, because large crystals are common.

*chuckles* Athemyst. Pretty name - alas, it isn't a gemstone.

It's a complicated puzzle computer game played by people from a Greek city-state, duh. What did you learn in school?

See, I knew topaz should be yellow! (I got the same result). And I was pretty sure that blue topaz had been irradiated! Hah! Stupid person who wrote the quiz.

You should leave scathing feedback. Go on, do it! I did - I said "your spelling is appalling". But you should take him/her to task about the accuracy of the info and appropriateness of the pics.

Heh, the amethyst looks like one of those glass/plastic things you can get from vendors at fairs. *has bought many*
