Gems and pelts (6)
I believe the answer is:
stones
This clue might be a double definition.
'gems' is the first definition.
(I know this)
'pelts' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both substances as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stones that I've seen before include "pop group" , "Gems -- Mick Jagger's rollers?" , "Pebbles" , "Attacks" , "''Sticks and ...... may break my bones''" .)
