Just one question: Is #26 "Hiddenite"? 'cause I can't see it. ;D Lady B

And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.

No winners yet! 26 was completely skipped so I added it in the original post. It is not a freebie. I guess I cant trust the internet on spelling! Yall' a very close! I am being very lenient with the missing letters. I will post the correct ones in a few.

ok, 15 & 18 are freebies! they are each missing a letter.
15 was supposed to be identification
18 was supposed to be chalcedony

The first one (tweet, tex or cpad) who gets #26.......all are correct letters.........wins the box!

My next contest will be much better, I promise! LOL
