Traditional birthstone battle...


I don't know know where they get the information for the questions but, along with others the Peridot is a traditional birthstone for August. I was born in August so, I've been given a lot of them. I feel like the competitor would've been right.

I thought so too so I looked it up and sure enough, peridot was there.
Then I looked up 12 birthstones according to Britannica and I guess it is the same but originally called sardonyx

Sounded all right to me. What did you hear? Anyway, I think they listed sardonyx as the August birthstone. I was born in August too, so I know either would have been correct.

Not where I'm from. I've never heard it pronounced like that.

This one bugged me too! I was sure the contestant answered correctly. I checked my Hallmark pocket calendar. It lists the birthstone and flower for each month.


Do you think they'll bring the contestant back and give him another chance? That is, if they produce more shows. Sometimes on Jeopardy they will bring back a player if the answer they gave turned out to be in dispute or correct.
