For thousands of years, one precious gemstone has been a favorite of church leaders and royalty. The ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and the Bible all made references to this stone. At one point in history, it was worth even more than diamonds. What is it? It's the amethyst. Which of these statements is an example of explicit information?

 It's the amethyst.

Explanation:

Explicit information refers to clear and concise information. It is not implied such that the recipient would have to figure it out.

In the text above, all the sentences were implicit information except the last one as they alluded to a gemstone without naming the gemstone thereby making their information implied.

The last statement explicitly states that the gem is Amethyst instead of implying it.
