PROGRRMS We would like to thank our Septem­

ber speaker, Steven Schackly for giving us his talk on obsidian. It is fun to learn about a material that we use so very much.

I am looking foreward to hearing the speaker for October. Dave Clayton will talk about jade!!!!

ROCK CRKES We would like to thank the following

members for their food donations to the last meeting: Elmer & Sadie Snyder, Mardell McDowell, Virginia Seamans, jack Carson, jeanette Garetto, julie & Marian Roach, Arland Stokes, Charlette Snyder, Mary Gavin, Naomi Morgan, Marcia Martin, Vern &jeanette Korstad, janice Garcia, Anne Marie Korkendorfer, Roman & Viola Groves, Clara & Dick Minor, Elaine Hartline, and Tom & Shirley Miller. Everyone com­mented on what a nice variety of cakes and cookies we had at the September meeting. The cookies left were taken to shop to make the work a little sweeter. Our November meeting Tthru F please bring your choice of sweets. Thank you, Dick Duncan and Charlette Snyder, Hosts

Notice- Friday Nights At the September Board Meeting it

was decided to close the shop on Friday nights, beginning in October. For a long time no one has been coming in on' Friday nigh t so there was no incentive for keep­ing it open.

GENERRL MEETI NG - S I LENT RUCTION I hope most members have enjoyed

having a silent auction at our general meet­ings. Members have enjoyed getting some good items at very reasonable prices and our scholarship fund has benefited from the proceeds.

Getting enough good items to make a good selection has, at times, not been easy but thanks to a few members like Doc Bus­chke, vern McCullough, Bill Walsh, Bill

4. OCTOBER 1997 The PE.TROIIRRP.H 2

'.:

Collins, John Gordon, Horace Robertson and Joe Hammond who have consistently contributed and a few others who contrIb­ute wHenever they can, the offering have been quite good. Our estate sales purchases have also been a major contributor. It would be nice if more of our members took more of an interest and contributed an item or two once in' a while. It goes to a good cause and would make it a little easier to come up with a good selection each month. A nice slab, piece of Jewelry or al­most anything of value to other members would be most welcome. Thank you. Joe Hammond, Scholarship Chair

RO CK RUMBLES And everyone had a great summer,

we hope. Vern McCullough went off to Canada to look for rocks for intarsia. He was especially looking for ocean rock. Horace Robertson is off to Oregon to help put a roof on his son's home. I bet he finds time to visit a school. Diane Alves is al­ready getting reservations for school vis­its to our March show.

That auction case doesn't look very full. Get busy. One for the auction and then start on your Christmas presents. There are some nice cut stones waiting for artists, so save your money for March.

The other day Ginny Madisen said she loves to cut and polish rocks but doesn't like jewelry. So what can she do with them? Several suggestions-- polish one side of a flat slab, put felt pad under­neath and use for a coaster or under a flower arrangement; or look for a pill box and remove the usual plastic ornament and replace with a polished stone or try a lamp shade made of thin slabs (remember these get heavy); wind chimes look and sound great; or try a strip of thin metal with a stone glued on and use as a book mark. Another idea is to decorate a cork for a wine bottle.

If you are on a trip and you left your gold jewelry at home on purpose but took your silver and suddenly discover that it is tarnished, what do you do? .. Try a little tooth paste and polish with tissue. A good habit to get into is to give silver a fast pol­ish just before you put it away. Ladies can rub it against the hem of a wool skirt or even along the rug in the motel. There's usually a little bit of rug no one can see under the bed. There is just enough abra­sion in rubbing to shine your piece.

Several shows are coming up. Check the list in this Petrograph. We will be off to the Santa Rosa show. The Rigors are

usually there. Our English globe trotter has not

checked in yet. His post card said he was in Thailand. Maybe he is still there trying to figure out how they built aq those temples. To newcomers who don't know, Bill Pennington is a stone mason.

Joe Hunt will be having ade:Utional surgery soon. We wish him well.

Spaghetti dinner coming up at our next meeting. This is always a nice social. Hopefully we will see some new faces at the work tables, preparing, serving and especially cleaning up.

Do you remember your class ring? If you have a teenager graduating from high school, you are probably appalled at the price of rings today. And they are rarely gold. High schoolers usually have their choice of stone; college grads' stone choice is selected by the college most of the time.

If you are a college grad in Brazil, your ring will designate your profession. A lawyer is entitled to wear a ruby, accoun­tants a pink sapphire and a dentist a gar­net. There are often symbols of the pro­feSSion along the side of the stone.Teachers and nurses wear onyx and engineers choose sapphires. Emeralds say this is a physician. Inside the ring the first name of the recipient is engraved.

Names given to new gem stones can be extremely confusing. Today many gems are given their name for promotional pur­poses. A catch name hopefully will catch the eye of the buyer and the stone will be off to a flying start. One of the leading in­ventors of trade names was Tiffany.

A recent attempt to popularize spessartlne garnet found in Namibia was first given the name orangeite because of the orange color; but this name did not catch on. The next choice was Hollandite after the Dutch Royal Family but this name fared no better. One company decided to call the gem Mandarin garnet and this name seems to be sticking.

So you love silver but hate to polish it. Manufacturers are busy trying to find ways to eliminate the need to polish or at

, least to polish less frequently. The copper in sterling causes fire scale which must be eliminated before polishing. So the race is on to develop a copper-less alloy. Prob­lem is many of the metals tested don't al­loy with silver. And those that do result in an expensive product, however, still cheaper than gold. Many of the new ~l­loys require special handling and equIp­ment and the result is often a soft silver. One of the problems is called karat creep. Traditional torch casting and vacuum cast­ing produces a product whereby part of the object is not up to karatage.

A couple of companies have devel­oped tarnish resistant metal. Among them is a product called Sterilite. Another com­pany has six tarnish resistant formulas. Tarnish resistance should last and surface hardness is that of sterling according to Precious Metal Refining. Heat treating should stiffen light weight pieces enough to withstand normal wear and tear.

is transmitted to a computer. The georadar can go through walls and can be used hori­zontally. The equipment is light which ~s quite an asset in the field. Evidence of caVI­ties could mean a pegmatite.

Seismic reflection requi res heavy equipment. Vibrator trucks are used to vibrate a signal of known frequency and energy for several second. These signals travel into the earth until they are reflected back by a rock. A small explosion can be set off and the resulting seismic reaction is studied Sensors measure the variation in arrival time of the reflections. By tak­ing measurements at several points, a com­posite picture of the rock and consequently identification can be made. This latter takes a well trained experienced scientist. Hopefully this method will be used for gem exploration.

Current diamond exploration in Canada and Australia have been a result of geophysics plus interpretation of satel­lite data.

Oh, well. You can still try to pan for gold. El Nino is supposed to kick up an-. other rugged storm so maybe the rivers ot California will release more of that gold. And you won't need all that fancy, expen­sive equipment ......... Back to the gold pan.

OCTOBER 1997 The PETROGRRPH 5

') GEM OF THE MONTH Another native son. I didn't think

there were any. He was born in Sonora and spent the first few months of his life in Angel's Camp (that's where they run the frogs) before moving to North Carolina when he was about 6. His dad went to work in the ship yards. Originally the family came from North Carolina. After the war they became homesick for California and settled in Lcdi. Eventually they made their way to Concord and he graduated from Mt. Diablo High School. He graduated from San Francisco State with a degree in eco­nomics and a masters at V.C. Berkeley. He was on his way to a Ph.D. when economics really came home and he was forced to join the working world full time. He was a newly wed and part time worker; school became overwhelming. So he looked for a job and ended up with Pac-Bell as an economist,

) retiring as head economist at ATT. So how could an economist become a rock hound?

Like most rockhounds, he started young. He and his family often returned to visit friends from Angel's Camp. The back yard of one of these "aunts" yielded lots of quartz crystals and since he spent lots of summers in the area he and his friends explored mining tailings. No one seemed to worry about the dangers (ex­cept the mothers). So he accumulated quite a collection of rocks. He also was interested in geology and decided he would own a gold mine when he grew up.

Our gem has two chlldren, a boy who was married recently and a daughter, also married. His wife is a retired elementary teacher who now volunteers as computer teacher in the local elementary school com­puter lab. She loves jewelry but leaves the lapidary work to her husband. She also

~ likes to garden. Our gem belongs to two clubs, ours and Contra Costa where he is treasurer. He loves to facet, especially natural stones and he likes the non-tradi­tional stones. His favorites are some of the

colored garnets--"just hard enough, they take a great shine and are a beautiful color." He says you can't beat the brilliant round cut and although this is the stone beginners usually start with, he thinks it is one of the more difficult cuts.

Our gem has a pretty complete shop at home. He recently concocted an appa­ratus to help identify a gem. He also com­pleted the competition stone for the March show. Have you remembered that gold mine he wan ted to own? He has done the next best thing. He bought several shares in the 16:1 Mine in Allegany. So our gem plays lots of games on his computer, fac­ets whenever possible and comes to the shop most Wednesdays. Who is it? To give you a few more hints, he plays the Euphorium, which is a kind of baritone horn (He says it looks like a sawed off tuba) in two community bands, the San Ramon Symphonic Band and the Contra Costa Wind Symphony. He has also been active in boy scout activities from transportation to Council leader in his area. That means several years of volunteering. Our gem this month is Sam Johnson.

SPRGHETTI DINNER NEEDS HEL PER S

Doc Buschke is coordinating the Spa­ghetti Dinner which we traditionally hold at the October General Meeting. He has 4 work crews that need volunteers to make the dinner a success. 1. Wednesday afternoon at shop at 3 pm to take supplies over to Centennial Hall. 2. Kitchen crew at 5 pm at Centennial Hall to set up the tables and prepare for meal. 3. Clean-up after the dinner. 4. After meeting help return supplies to shop and put things away.

Please call Doc at home at 797-0744 to sign up to one or more of these crews. He can't do it alone.

Thank you all and lets make it a fun time.

97 The PETROG 6 I wrote Rock and Gem about submitting articles to their magazine and they sent us this letter. If any club members want to fo llow up on this and submit an article it would be fun for the rest of us to read and great expoosure for our club. Laurie Denton

i} GEM Wit HER 'S riUl DELI NES
