    Which gemstone is named for an art collector who was affiliated with a famous art museum, a very old university, and an infirmary with an unusually 'literal' name?

    Question #73507. Asked by peasypod. (Dec 19 06 4:36 PM)

    		Morganite is named after J.P.Morgan, who was not only a banker but also an art collector and president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I am not sure about the infirmary but there is definitely a Mrogan State University. Am I getting anywhere??

    		Morganite would certainly work. The university would be Harvard, and the "infirmary" would probably be the "Lying-In" Hospital in New York:

    		Well done girls, you can both have a, um, double banana for that one.
