OUTGOING PRESIDENT, ELMER SNYDER

A year is about gone. Just a few more days and you will have a new President. Some will give a sign of relief, namely my friend Arnold Barron.

It has been a good year for me. Although there was lots of "lapses of memory", I will not soon forget all the help I got from the Board of Directors and other members of the Club. I can tell Joe Hammond that he doesn't have to worry about his "Board", he can count on them always being there when he nf'..e<is them I

I want to thank my Secretary, Lee Worth, for remembering the things I couldn't and always knowing what I should do next. Also, my wife, Sadie, for not objecting to my going off and leaving her "all alone and lonely" while I was down working out all the problems of the Society.

I will still be around _m in and out waiting and watching Joe do his job.

Elmer Snyder 1989 President

INCOMING PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

As your newly-elected Pro .. lJident for 1990, I want to fU'St wish you all a healthy, prosperous, and happy New Year. I hope, too, you all had a wonderful Christmas.

With the holidays now over and our annual show just approaching, it's time to concentrate on how we can help promote our club and our show.

All members should make an effort to attend our general meeting on January 10th to show our appreciation to our retiring officers for the time and effort they spent in running our club over the past year, and to show our support to our new officers who graciously accepted the responsibility of running our club for the next year.

)

)

(

A little gratitude doesn't cost anything and is the only compensation these member officers will receive for

) their effots, so be generous, attend the meeting, and show your appreciation.

We still need an Education Coordinator, a Field Trip Coordinator, and a Parliamentarian as appointed officers. If anyone is willing to assume any of these positions, please let me know.

Thank you, Joe Hammond 1990 Pt-esident

MISSING

One yellow Pyrex disk and spoon was left at the Christmas dinner. Please pick it up at the shop.

Ednah Antunovich Shop Chairman

~N_THE MAGAZINE RACK

The November issue of Lapidary Journal has two articles on amethyst and citrine. One is a workshop article on free fonn carving. Also, there is a good bit of information entitlted "Reworking Gemstones" which will aid faceters with problems of repolishing and

) recutting.

The Mineralogical Record has an article on "Stibnites of the Stayton District, Hollister, California". Should be of interest to those who are interested in mines of that area.

The Janwuy issue of Rocks and Gems features "Gold" in the Mariposa Museum and other mother lode cities. TIlere is also an article on fossils at La Porte.

Fern Brown, Librarian

SKIRTING

As usual, we are going to need a lot of help with skirting before the show. Anyone wishing to help out will be welcome, as we can use all the help we can get. Please contact me at 635-5773.

Ida Claflin

CLUB SCHOLARSHIP

The recipient of our $500 scholarship award for this year will be Mr. Daniel E. Madsen of Piedmont, California. The competition was particularly keen this year and fi ve applicants met our qualifying standards. Mr. Madsen was judged to be the most deserving.

The award will be presented at our January 10th meeting.

Joe Hammond, Scholarship Chair

DONA nONS IFO OUR SHOW

Donations to our faceted stone and jewelry auction have been sadly lagging. To dat, we have only four faceted stones donated by three members and only seven pieces of jewelry donated by five members. That's a total of 8 members out of a total of 450 making a contribution. Not very impressive, to say theleasL

I hope it is only because everyone thought there was plenty of time to make and donate something and not because of a lack of interest and support. If so, time is rwming out, so please show off your talents, make something for the auction. It's a great way to make some extra money for our club, money we need to offset the many cost increases we have had recently.

Between our auction and raffle, we made a little over $3,000 last year, which helped considerably in keeping our club solvent.

Our raffle is being sadly neglected too. Raffle tickets have been available since September and the prizes have been displayed at the shop and at each of our meetings for the past several months. They are excellent prizes and should be worth investing $1 for a ticket I am sure many non-members would be willing to buy a ticket in hopes of winning such a nice prize if only someone offered them a chance to buy a ticket. Don't deprive your friends, neighbors, co-workers, relatives, and all you come into contact with, the chance of winning. Take some tickets, give them a chance of winning a nice prize, and help your club in the process.

Thank you, Joe Hammond President

WANTED

We need door prizes for the show. Cabs, jewelry, belt buckles, bola ties, carvings, polished slabs. Remember, the club pays ~ the findings. You may leave your donations witll the shop instructors or contact me.

Elmer and Sadie Snyder Host/Hostess

SUNSHINE REPORT

We are happy to know that Bill Garcia is home and feeling good after a stay in the hospital with pneumonia. I think that we wore himself out and ended up in the hospital after pulling in that 36-1/2 lb. salmonl!!

Del Jones is back playing golf after having a heart attack at Thanksgiving. He was up in the mountains at the time, and had to be flown to Reno by helicopter.

We were shocked and saddened at the sudden dr..ath of Helen Miguel. She was the Historian for the Society for so many years. She will be missed by everyon Our sympathy to her family.

Any of you that worked at the shop on Tuesday evenings will remember Steven LeBarge, a young man of only 36, making cabochones. Our hearts go out to his family in their lo8I.

Please, if any of you members have some information regarding any member of the Society that you think other members will want to know, call me at 895-2322.

Happy Holidays, Gene Hanzel, Sunshine Chairperson

COUNTRY STORIE

We are rapidly approaching show time. Just two months awayl If you have a special craft thaa you would like to make and donate to the Country Store, it would be appreciated very much. We will have a drawing again for a quilt, an afghan, and other items that are donated. Some items that sell well are slllffed toys, woden toys, house plants, etc. Please save your oool's for us, especially paperbacks. We will have the school children. so items that that they can buy. If you have any questions, please call me at 582-7459.

Thank you, Billie Ashley

WIND CHIMES

John Gullak will hold an informal get together at the shop on Wednesday, February 23, 1990, at 7:00 p.m., to discuss and answer questions on how to make wind chimes. John has made several thousand, so he is quite knowledgeable in the making of wind chimes.

MEMBERSHIP

Thank you to everyone who his gotten their membership dues in to me early. For anyone who has not paid their dues, this will be your last Petrogrnph, as all those names were removed from the roster as of December 31 , 1989.

It is vital ror EVERYONE to f'W ou~ memMrohlp form EACH YEAR, !Und tbis Iso InchuB~ Ufe memberships. The l'eason for this is that all money IUld checks are separated immediately and given to the Treasurer. The forms are used when inputting data and double-checking that there were no omissions to the membership roll. Forms are at the shop, in tl e Petl'Ograph, or you can (:all me and I will send you one. If there is something on the back of the fonn (as the case sometimes in t.he Pell'Ograph), please make a copy of it and send it to me. I WHlLlL NOT PROCESS ANY MIEMBE Sm:1P rnA'1I' DOES 01' HAVE A ACCOMPANYING MEMBE SHIP FORM.

I am hoping that in the new year, all members using the shop will have to wear a cle.ar badge and place their membershipship card in it whenever they are at the shop. I feel that this will assure the paying members that they are privileged, and that non-paying members are not allowed to use the shop fol' free. I take great pride in our membership policy, and I put a great amount of care and diligence in maintaining the data files for the club. I strongly feel that non-paying members should not get membership privileges, and I have done my best to inform the Board whenever I am aware that non-paying participants have used the shop. I hope to have the paying membership 's support during this next year.

And to everyone who sent stamped, self-addressed envelopes as requested -- thank you, thank you, thank you. It really expeditt'.d my job when mailing out all of the membership cards -- and we have over 450 members I

Candy Jones, Membership Chairperson

Bob King of Los Ang 1 has suggested that the annual CrMS show be rotated ~mong 4 - 5 p rmanent locations, which , would make it easier to de I with th f ai rgrounds. The shows would be sponsored by the CrMS Ex cutiv Board and all the profits would go to the C~MS.

TIE

From Osage Hills Oems via OIacter OnIvel, co fonnula for changing the color of Brazilian from whatever you have to a red. Here's the VI Y to do it

Be sure the slab is at room tempe~. PlL'lCe in unheated oven a and set the temperature at 2000 for 15 minutes. TIlen continue raising the temperature 500 at a time every 15 minutes until you have rear;hed 5500

•

Leave the slab at that temperature for 20 to 25 minutes. Then shut off the oven. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES OPEN THE OVEN DURINO THIS PROCE~S! If you do, the stone may shaUer. Le.t tlle oven cool completely, preferably overnight.

Thi ' heat treating me.thod works on many different lTlateriah (e.g. tigel'Cye, carnelian, and ,()1M petrified woods). If slabs are more than 3/16", irx;ren&e beating at ('.acta stage to 2S minutes. Do net ~ whole nodult~, as they might explode.

n~e tJlOOry is to drive away ex.cess VI, t.er COIWUned in iron compoonds or trace minemL.1I t.IW might be pre&ent in UioC coloration, thus redu.cing the iron to an oxide whk h is bright red,

POU SHING OREGON lPi('''TURE (Rocl~, Chips)

After cutting, sand on the 220 grit sander, then move to !he 600 grit sander; polish widl cerium ox' . U no watger to wet the sbeel fllSt polish. Spray wheel with a diluted solution of ceriwn oxide polish lightly without p:essure until YOll have rorked it dry. Then wet wheel spin and w • wuil the IItOOe becomes dry again. FiMl polisb is ght out by spraying the wheel with Cea1wn oxide and '.J • ,

keeping wet about two minutes. W and dry off your cab picture. This will p:roduce tiful fwish.

FRAGILE CRYSTALS (SMS Matrix)

For u'Sgile crySlals, try this method. TIUs ctm be used in the field to break a cavity with fmaile cryatals from a large matrix spedmen. Fill the cavity with futa din and hold the material with the cavity f: inS up to retain the dirt while you trim the specimen. The din prevents the shock of the hammer blow from loosening the crystals.

_ 7 _

1 : Ve recommend sawing about 100 away from directly parallel to the grain. This way, when yo dom~ the stone, you will get a bullseye effect.

hite is a fairly soft stone, so try to leave the slebs a little thicker than other materials. When grinding, we recommend always wear a breathing mask. Malachite can be tox.ic and can make you very ill. After grinding, sand first on a new 600 sanding bclt, then finish sanding on a very worn out 600. Finally, for polishing, we recommend ZAM on hard felL Give the stone a little extra time and the polish will eep coming up better.

TiBereye: The main thing to remember with tigereye is to orient for the strongest banding and saw that way. Don't be fooled by the shape of the stone; just 1 for the banding. Grind, sand, and polish like &pte. Suggest using breathing mask.

p,tTOt Wina: Cut and polish the same as any agate. Shu most material is highly agatized, you should

ve no problems.

~~~: Fire agate is similar to cutting any stone with color reflection properties. You must cut for the maximum color. Unlike spectrolite, you can loose the fare by grinding too far. But, like opal, you can W:rea8C the fue by hitting the fire line exactly. Also, like opal, the more stones you cut, tbe better you get. Sand and polish like any other agate. Iust try not to sand past the fare.

OjUiql Owvtz: For opal triplet caps, sand the back as fIAt possible up to 600 sanding. Do not polish the . to be glued. Polish the top with cerium oxide on

feAt, or with 50,000 diamond. For f&:eting, we recommend rough grind on 260 grit. Pre-polish with 1,200 tpit and polialn with tin oxide on a tin lap.

Orind

~~. Orind on 260; pre.polish on 1,200. Polish widt Linde A on a tin lap 01' R typemetal lap. If troub is encountered in polishing, Il'y reversing the clirec . of the lap 0' the stone. If your machine

have a reverse, rhen simply put the stone on the adler side of the lap. This essentially reverses the side of the stone the lap is coming from.

Precious TOJ)IlZ: TIle only difficulty that you may encowtt.er is if you forget to make sure that your table f~et is at least 100 away from the cleavage. Topaz

has one way that it has a very easy cleavage. If you were to compare a topaz crystal to a pencil, you would see that the easiest way to break a pencil is also the easiest way that a topaz crystal would break. That flat break point is called "cleavage".

Cubic Zirconia: Cut as you would any other faceting rough. Correct cutting angles are 34° on the table and 41.5° on the pavilion. Polish either with a tin lap and diamond 01' a ceramic lap with diamond. Also have tried a tin lap with Linde A and had very good success on the polish.

FILES (Sooner Rockologist)

Handy tiles for trimming cabs, etc., can be made from pGr '",I~ st·cks. Coat one side of the stick with epoxy alw sprinkle with 100 or 180 grit silicon carbide. A~ low to dry and repeat on the other side. , ........ ,--,,-----~flQ~O~~ VE OVEN A NO, NO! (Roc Toc)

Do not try this fast way of heating a stone. All stOIi ~S have a certain amount of fluid in them, and it ve,ry well could be not only dangerous, but possibly deadly.

It could be very disastrous. After one minute, one person trying it for the fllSt time had to set out of the way while stones, microwave, and anything around it blew up. It was a mess! Let this be a warning!

JAD§ (Bcl'keley G(~m & Mineral Society)

Jade will clog a saw blade. After cutting this material, YOll should clean your saw blade by cutting obsidian or a brick. Some people use an old silicon carbide grinding wheel or make a mixture of cement and water in a milk carton and use this cement block.

SPEED INDICATOR FOR FACETING (Hy Grader)

For those interested in having a speed indicator for their faceting machine, I have found the answer! The small motors out of cassette tape recorders are permanent magnets and also serve as a generator. I took one of these small units and hooked it to a milliammeter (a meter to measure small amounts of current). These meters can be picked up at Radio Shack or out of a radioman 'S junk box. Put a rubber tip on the end of the small motor shaft to make a good contact when touched to the end of the lap shaft

, ~ -

on the faceting machine. This will give you a reading on the meter in proportion to the speed of the shaft. The motor could also be fastened to a drive belt on the machine.

][NT ODUCTION TO FOSSIL COLLECTING AREAS (Elmer Moore, Napa Gems)

In geology much depends on the ability to differentiate one rock from another. This is similarly true with the paleontologist and paleoecologisl. Any effort to decipher the history of a region depends largely upon knowing the rock layers and their relation to the geologic time scale. It is helpful to be able to tell a schist from a shale and lava from limestone and to know something of the origin of each.

A basic tool for studying the relations among the different rocks of an area is a geologic map, sbowing (usually by distinctive colors or patterns) the separate formations. The field geologist subdivides the totality of the rocks he is mapping into groups, each of which is large enough to show on the map and distinctive enough to allow easy a'acing of its bounding contacts on the ground. Each of these mapable subdivisions of the rocks in a given region is known as a "formation". The sand and mud deposits, ranging from dull grey to blue, lavender and pink, that make up the Morrison formation offer a good example.

The name of a formation becomes formalized when a full description, giving details of its characte, thickness, location, and the origin of its narne is published in a professional journal. Most formations are named for a physiographic feature at or near which they are typically exposed, followed by a term such as "limestone", "shale", "conglomerate", or "basalt" if such a rock is prominent in the unit, or simply by "formation" if it contains a variety of rock types . Examples are the Green River shales and the John Day formation.

A type section or type locality is designated so that others can examine the original as an aid in making comparisons. Similar procedures involving type specimen, which are made available in museums or other collections, are followed in namAng fossils, as well as existing plants or animals.

The next several articles will pertain to areas studied and collections made when permission was granted. The terminology used is the accepted geological tenns and the layers are designated as in the geologic time scale. Attempt is made to describe the locations and fmds and to offer something that hopefully might be a plausible explanation of the geological phenomena that might have occurred in each area in the framework of the catastrophic activities having taken place rather

(

than other theories such as the unifonnitarian approl:Ch. In as much that, almost exclusively, fossils are found in sedimentary materials; the catastrophic forces of wind, water, fue (volcanism), sudden climatic changes (ice), etc. were likely forces to plMt and animal preservation.

Doubtless there are flaws in tbe attempted interpretations (as there are in most), and certainly they are but a brief overview and do not besin to account for eery bit of observable evidence. Some people's shrewdest guesses may be quite far removed from either the complexity on the one hand and the simplicity on the other, of tI forces and events that brought into being the contours and graveyards that form our present geological patterns.

AJ,A r~ ,ONE SHELL ("111 1' East Bay Nodule)

} lave y()U ever wondered how to tumble abalone &hel17 T.ry this. Obtain fine, sharp quartz sand from hal' ware store fol' concrete mixing. Add enough water to barely cover the shells. Tumble for 24 - 36 hours.

W J.sh thoroughly and dry. Replace shells in tile t\.1mbh~l· and add one pound of tripoli for each SO pounds of shell. Adjust amount of tripoli fo the number of pounds of shell you are polishing. Tumble this rnixLure for 12 w 15 hours. Wash thoroughly and dry. Change Uie drum to half full, add enough hardwood dust to keep shells from bumping. Run this mixture for 2 - 3 hoW'S. Wash thoroughly and dry. Enjoy!

STERLn~G SiL ~~RlNICKEL SIL VE (fVf.iIlemlog)

Test an edge or file a small notch in the material and touch with a small drop of nitric acid. Sterling turns cloudy cream and nickel turns green. In pickle, silver turns white and the nickel turns a dull gray.

OPALS (Sooner Rockologist)

Put u few drop sof rubbing alcohol in die bittle of water in which you keep opals. It will keep them from turning black and the water from turning stagnant.

S ve the water from boiled potatoes and drop your tarnished jewelry and table silver into it. Leave it there about an hoW' or two, remove, and watch it shine.

Calcite is the most diversified of all known minerals, with perhaps more than 300 different forms, described by various authors. Calcite occW's in the form of many hexagonal crystals, some of them are very complex, and also forms as Iceland spar, sand crystals, travertine, onyx marble, stalactites, and compact and enrtby masses.

Besides calcite, the carbonate minerals commonly interesting to rockhounds include magnetite, siderite, rhodochrosite, and Smithsonite.

Magnesite and rllodochrosite are often seen being worked in our clubhouse. Much of the magnesite found in the Bay Area counties comes from the Anderson Dam site. This magnesite is white, gray, yellow, or brown in pastel shades. The white, gray, and yellow typeS are often used to imitate natural iVOTy. And often magnesite is sometimes artistically patterned in the various shades mentioned above. Other locations where this mineral is found woe Manchuria, the Soviet Union, Austria, Nevada, and Washington.

Rhodochrosite is an ore of manganese, and occurs in vitteous masses of pink to brown colors. The various locations where it is found include Colorado, Montana, New Jersey, and South and Central America. It is soft, but lapidaries make many fUle an beautiful objects, as cabs, carvings, and boxes, from it.

DOPSTICKS (Pegmatite)

Use a clothespin, a vooden split one, for a dopstick. It has an advantage of providing a large easy handle to grip, a flat area to glue your stone to, and the slot can be slipped over the edge of a box to support the stone upright.
