A fake stone


Kay Bergdahl, a display designer, or "flairista," at the gift shop and snack bar of the Dan Quayle Museum in Huntington, Indiana, writes:

Dear Grammer Genious,

What is apartite? Is it like tourmaline, or cubic zirconium? My boyfriend Zack says there used to be lots of apartite in South Africa but nowadays there is none left, or something. I think maybe he is just trying to not get me any. Do you think he is just trying to make excuses for not getting me the jewlery that I need? Why can't they just reopen the mines?  Sometimes he laughs at me for no reason.

Dear Miss Bergdahl,

It's not in the wikipedia, so I can't think what he could be talking about. It sounds like he probaby just made it up.
