Thanks very much to all of you, now just need numbers 15, 47, 48, the list's getting shorter!! thanks again.

47) Sardonyx..An Onyx with bands of Cornelian or Sard.


Scornful = Sardonic


Replace the C which = 100 With X which = 10

an attack of nerves felt by musicians is known as 'the pearlies', and it may be the case for actors too.

Question Author
Many thanks valerieb and atoach, sardonyx is great, should have seen that, but not too sure of pearlies atoach, the other answers I've already got are specific gems / stones etc, but thanks for the try! Now down to just numbers 15 and 48!!!!

marcasite ?


mark-a-cite ?

In defence of my previous answer, a 'pearly' can be a pearl button, so maybe 'pearlies' isn't so bad ...
Question Author
thank you very very much for MARASITE! brilliant! sorry, didn't mean to sound so anti your 'pearlies' answer, food for thought!
Question Author
