This time, you get a list of words to find in the letters of the above square. They can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, or spelled backwards. And, they can overlap. As you find them, draw a line around or through them. I didn't scramble the words, plus I did sort them alphabetically, or you would spend more time on the clues, than the puzzle! The hidden words are below.

Adamite
Amazonite
Andalusite
Aquamarine
Aragonite
Atacamite
Azurite
Bauxite
Bixbite
Celestite
Cerrusite
Chromite
Chrysoberyl
Cinnabar
Cobaltite
Cryolite
Cuprite
Demantoid
Dolomite
Galena
Goethite
Heliodor
Hessonite
Hiddenite
Kernite
Magnetite
Malachite
Manganite
Marcasite
Millerite
Molybdenite
Nickeline
Orpiment
Pectolite
Phenakite
Pyrope
Realgar
Rhodolite
Rutile
Siderite
Smithsonite
Sodalite
Sphalerite
Staurolite
Stibnite
Sulphur
Sylvite
Tanzanite
Vivianite
Zincite

Note: I retried several times to improve the original graphic image, had little success, and therefore put the puzzle in html code. The above wordfinder should print out now, with your browser's print command, and with very readable results.
Attention Club Bulletin Editors: I have a .txt document file available, for the whole puzzle and words, which should work with your word processor or other bulletin editing software. If you desire a copy, please e-mail me.

Also:
Our CM&GS bulletin editor has a .doc file of this WordFinder puzzle, which places the words to the right of the puzzle grid, and looks great on a single club bulletin page. If you desire this format, click below to e-mail our club bulletin guru Dave.
