They were in a little cloth drawstring bag, just like the "Gold Rush", but were colored to look like pieces of turquoise, quartz, and other semi-precious stones? If anyone knows where I can find this product, I'd be deeply appreciative. I have been regaling my niece and nephew with stories of the candy available when their mother and I were kids, and I'd love to be able to share this with them. Thanks!!

That was in the early 90s. I'm sure there was a stage where these were Simpsons themed for some reason! I used to buy these most weeks after going to cub scouts. That was in the early 90s.

My brother used to like to buy it, I would keep the little bags. I have no idea what I did with them. If I recall, it’s the same flavor as JuicyFruit.
