mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

irach

Dazed5

MINERAL

Dazed5

Jumping the gun...

Should read MINERAL with the possibility of some VEGETABLE in it also.

Néa

A carrot encased in a slab of crystal?

Dazed5

[Nea] That's even better than mine, but sadly, no.

Rosie

A long shot - coal?

Raak

Something to do with fossils?

Irouléguy

Is the mineral pure or a mixture?

Dazed5

Rosie. Not coal.
Raak. Nothing to do with fossils.
Irouleguy.Yes, a mixture.
(Apologies to Nea and Irouleguy, I do not know how to do an 'e' with an accent over).

ImNotJohn

A pearl?

ImNotJohn

Is the mineral (semi-)precious?

Chalky

Dazed5 - re. the acute accent - just type [(the ampersand symbol)eacute;] - when you would normally type the 'e' - the semicolon is important.
As for a question ... I expect I'll think of one soon
