food, and we’re already starting to plan for our December holiday meeting, which traditionally centers
around food! Do you detect a theme here? Great rocks and great food. And while I’m on the
subject, I want to extend a special thanks to Denise Halopoff and Mike Judy for the delightful cupcake cakes they brought to the
July meeting in celebration of our 22nd birthday, one for the adults featuring our club logo, and one
for the Juniors featuring a volcano -- that sort of tipped over but still tasted great! - Barbara Bilyeu
Happy Summer, everyone! The year is more than half over and I hope you are all enjoying some rock-related endeavors. It was great to see so many people at our 2nd annual lapidary demonstration, getting acquainted with the equipment and doing some “hands on” while enjoying a beautiful day and visiting with rockhound friends. Oh yes, and the food was great!!! Thanks to everyone who helped and participated. And, speaking of food, we will have our ice cream social at the general meeting this month so come prepared to enjoy! Our picnic on September 15 at Templeton Park will include more
Next Board Meeting:
12 August @ 7 pm
Next General Meeting:
19 August @ 7 pm
August Program
Our speaker for August will be mineral collector and dealer Richard Lewis from Cambria. Richard has done many fine programs for us in the past and always has fabulous minerals to display and amazing tales to tell about his adventures as a mineral collector (emphasis on the word “adventures”!), so don’t miss it! And this will be the month for our ice cream social. Ice cream will be provided and members are asked to bring toppings to share. Remember, though, no food or beverages in the carpeted area of the Museum!
All members are encouraged to please bring
ice-cream toppings to share at the next General Meeting.

FOUNDER’S AWARD Congratulations to David Nelson, who was honored at the July meeting by former recipient of the Founders Award, Richard Smithen. Although David received the award years ago along with his parents, Warren and Sharline Nelson, it was very appropriate that David receive it again for his contributions to the club on his own. David has been a quiet worker, taking on special projects, running the monthly drawing, and fixing things and offering his expertise and manpower wherever it’s been needed. When something needs to be done, David just shows up and does it. Thank you, David, for all your help over the years, and congratulations on receiving the Founders Award for 2013!
SCHOLARSHIP Congratulations to Club member Paul Gutierrez for being chosen to receive the Club’s scholarship of $500! Paul will be attending California State University at Stanislaus and plans to study geology. Best wishes, Paul, and we hope you’ll keep in touch!
Bob McCabe congratulates Paul Gutierrez, winner of this year’s $500 scholarship
IT’S ALMOST TIME TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP!! September is the month we would like all current members to renew their memberships by paying their dues. Renewals are $20 for the first adult in the household, and $8 for each additional family member in the household. This is also a good time to be sure that we have your current, CORRECT contact information on our membership list. This is important for a number of reasons, particularly so you continue to receive your newsletter, so please check it on our membership list and let Alice Pellerin know of any changes or corrections. Copies of the membership list may be picked up at the membership table, or you can get the most current version online at www.slrockhounds.org under the section for members only. So please get your dues in on time (in person or by mail) so you can continue to enjoy being a member of the Santa Lucia Rockhounds. If you delay, that creates difficulties for your fellow members who are trying to keep the lists current, keep our insurance on track with CFMS, make sure you get your newsletter, etc. So please be considerate of these folks and get your dues in on time!!
JULY PROGRAM THANKS to Joyce Baird for giving a fine presentation on the formation and history of the Santa Lucia Rockhounds at our July meeting! It was fun hearing from some of the Old Timers as well as learning about how many of our members became interested in rocks. Thanks to everyone who shared their stories!
SAN SIMEON EARTHQUAKE PROJECT We already have some submissions for the booklet we are putting together to commemorate the San Simeon Earthquake which occurred 10 years ago this coming December. Were you here? Did you feel it? What happened in your life that day that you can share with posterity? Did you take photos? Please send your information to Barbara Bilyeu at [email protected] or call at 805-434-2708 if you would like to be included. This was a major event in the geological and historical story of our area and in the lives of those of us who experienced it. Share your story with rockhounds of the future.

participate.
ROCKONTEUR Welcome to our new Rockonteur publisher, James King, who is accepting the position from Bethany Henderson. And THANKS to Bethany for handling that job so gracefully during some difficult times. James also publishes newsletters for two other organizations in which he is involved, so he has the process down pretty well. We can always use more articles for the newsletter, so if you are interested in submitting something that would be of benefit to the other club members, please send it to James by the first of the month. The new email address for the Rockonteur is [email protected]. THANKS to Bethany and JAMES!
OCTOBER FIELD TRIP Arrangements are being made for a special overnight field trip to the OMYA quarry in the Lucerne Valley for a tour and the opportunity to collect fluorescent minerals. The date is Saturday, October 5 for a presentation by geologist Howard Brown and the tour of the quarry during the afternoon, and the collecting trip in the evening. The trip and specimens are free, but you will need to make arrangements for an overnight stay since collecting will occur after dark. This trip is appropriate for our Junior Rockhounds, and everyone will need their own shortwave black light to find their fluorescent specimens in the dark. More details will be in the next newsletter but we are taking sign-ups now. The trip is limited to 25 people, so please call Barbara Bilyeu at 805-434-2708 or email her at [email protected] to get your name on the list!

RHODOCHROSITE One of the minerals found at the Omya White Knob Quarry is rhodochrosite. But what is it? Okay, I’m a mineralogical novice so let’s refer to Wikipedia and see what they have to say.
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO3. In its (rare) pure form, it is typically a rose-red color, but impure specimens can be shades of pink to pale brown. It streaks white, and its Mohs hardness varies between 3.5 and 4. It is transparent to translucent with refractive indices of nω=1.814 to 1.816, nε=1.596 to 1.598. It is often confused with the manganese silicate, rhodonite, but is distinctly softer. It was first described in 1813 in reference to a sample from Cavnic, Maramureş, present-day Romania.
Okay, that’s the basics for an introduction. There’s more at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodochrosite.

LAPIDARY DEMONSTRATION DAY 2013 Over 30 club members and friends enjoyed a very pleasant morning and afternoon in Templeton at Galen Moyer’s home recently, when several members demonstrated their tools and skills in various facets of the lapidary arts. Setting up under the magnificent shade of the huge oak tree and other areas in the yard were: Kincy Scott and Chris Driesbach demonstrating the use of the contour polisher; Aaron Miller and Chris Driesbach showing the fine art of fossil preparation; Tom and Laurie Wylie and Bob Baker making cabochons; Mike Judy with his gold panning operation; and Gene Bilyeu and Galen Moyer operating the rock saw and grinding and sanding equipment. Special thanks to Mike Judy and Denise Halopoff for bringing the portable BBQ, paper plates, ice, etc. and for Mike’s Amazing Card Trick (!). Thanks to David Nelson for his excellent hot dog grilling, and to everyone who brought the wonderful food we enjoyed at lunch. And very special thanks to Galen Moyer for purchasing the hotdogs and buns, providing the electricity for the demonstrators, offering the use of his home and grounds for this event, and for being a very gracious host!

Did you know? A look at earth science odds and ends by a geology geek (Jim Mills)
What are the chances of finding some diamonds on your next field trip to look for rocks? Well, they are pretty slim unless perhaps you are planning a trip to the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas. This is one of the very few parks in the country that does not prohibit picking up a rock and taking it home. In fact, they encourage you to bring a shovel and bucket and carefully go through some buckets full in hopes of finding (and keeping!) a real diamond. Some very impressive diamonds have been found at Murfreesboro in the past. Stones of several carats in size. Some are fine grade for faceting but perhaps the most exciting are those that still resemble the original diamond crystal shape – a real “diamond in the rough” that would be a show stopper in any rockhound’s collection. The first diamonds were found at Murfreesboro in 1906 by a pig farmer named John Huddleston. The property was privately owned and operated as a tourist attraction for several decades before it was finally acquired and added to the Arkansas State Park System. Well more than 25,000 diamonds have been found and registered at the locality since the property was taken over by the Arkansas Park System. So what it is that makes Arkansas special with diamonds and precludes us from finding diamonds at San Simeon or perhaps in the Mojave Desert? The answer is Kimberlite Pipes. These oddly named geologic features are not really so much a pipe as they are a conduit from the upper mantle of the earth all the way up to the surface. The feature that distinguishes a Kimberlite Pipe from a regular old, run of the mill, volcanic feature is the depth from which the magma has traveled to the earth’s surface. There are two types of diamonds, derived from carbon associated with different
rock types. One of them (the E-type from Eclogite rocks) formed at depths of greater than 300 kilometers below the earth surface. Current research suggests that their formation took place approximately a little less than a billion years ago! The second type (P-type from Peridotite rocks) formed approximately 3 billion years ago at depths of 150 to 200 kilometers. How do we know this??? Diamonds themselves cannot be dated but there are at least 22 different minerals
which occur as very, very minute inclusions in diamonds and some of them are radioactive with a half-life that can be measured so that the two isotopes of the mineral can be measured to determine age of the diamond. But, we are talking about very small amounts of atoms – so small that they only recently could be measured with some of the newer, more sensitive, X-ray diffraction equipment available to geologists.
Diamonds remained at their great depths for very long periods of geologic time. The ages of all known Kimberlite pipes range between 1.6 billion and 50 million years. Thus some of the diamonds sat in their high pressure, high temperature “nursery” for a very long time before coming up to the surface. These facts should immediately signal to you that diamonds are NEVER the result of metamorphic processes acting on coal. The kind of vegetation that eventually produced coal did not come along until approximately 400 million years ago – long after all of the 1.6 billion and 3 billion year old diamonds were formed. Do you remember the scene in Superman III where the super hero takes a lump of coal and squeezes it with his super strength and makes a diamond which he presents to Lana Lang? Well, there were two different fantasies involved in that scene. We can dispense with the super strength part quickly (and we don’t even need the similarly fictional Kryptonite to do it). The part about making diamonds out of coal is just as much of a fantasy. Geologists have never discovered any Kimberlite pipes in California (and there have been some pretty intense field studies that looked for them) so that explains why you won’t find any diamonds locally. Let me know when you are leaving for Arkansas! Just thought you would like to know…

A Message From Aaron Miller I am opening a shop in Cambria and looking for local artists/jewelers/rockhounds who may be interested in having some of their work on display or who would be interested in making pieces for me. One third of the space will be dedicated to a museum project that I am part of that will showcase minerals and fossils of the Central Coast. We are looking for items for donation or loan to add to our display. Right now we are interested in any local artifacts, minerals or fossils that can expand the collection. Please contact me via email at [email protected] with any photos or questions. You can call me at 408-497-0715
