SYNSlIiINE EPORT

Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with Bob ODd and his family in the loss of Stelh~. Stella

:vas ont of the hardest workers in the Society. For years she as part of the crew that put the Petro graph together each month. Stella was our wonderful annowlCer at our shows. She is the frrst person I could ever understand when she made all the announcements over the microphone at our shows. She truly will be missed by everyone in the Society. She requested frumly only at her services.

Our sympathy also to the family of Ernie Nunes who pa&:ed way last week. He and his wife, Barbara, are former members of the Society.

We don't need to go to Barcelona to root for a winner. e have one in our own Club. Dick Miner is the

California St&e Bowlin Champ' on in the "Over 70 I..eDgucu

• He was recently intied to Corpus Christi, TIC (all eXpeilmes paid) to participate in the National Leaguel He did oots4Znding job. We are proud of yoo, Dick.

Ed! ,C «By J ., has fallen in love with whitewate!l' raftin . So m~h so that she has her own raft. She has taken any number of courses in boat

eay, she introduces the river to her many friends. She has rafted mooy rivers and is taking off in May for the O. She will be rowing 250 miles down the Grand Canyon en the Colorado for three weeks. Good luck, Candy, tIDpe you have a wonderful vacation and will mow WJ lots of pictures when you retwn.

JGCl Ii IiOOnwi is having problems with his legs. The dottors want him to have a week of bed rest before running some tests. Hope you feel better very soon, Joe.

Ano~ BZll'rolm is doing mighty fine after his knee operation. He is doing so well that he has graduated from both his crutches and his cane.

Viola Groves sailed through her cataract surgery and the world looks much brighter.

Vern McCuUougb came down with pneumonia. but is doing fine now.

Ed Rigor became ill at the Bakersfield Show and had to work the show alone. He had an infection that is clearing up, but he still needs lots of rest.

Bill Walsb's operation on his foot has been postponed. To quote Bill, "I chickened out" .

Talked to Judge Ewing and he is feeling better. He said he is feeling much bP.~.h~r ~nd the only problem is "I can no longer drive".

Summer is around the comer and vacation time is here. We will all be flitting about, flying, driving or walking. Whichever enjoy yourselves and we will see YOll in the Fall.

Sunshine and Happiness, Gene Hanzel

MEMBERSHIP REPORT

All membership cards have been sent out. Thanks for your patience.

I will be gone until June 22nd, but I will be back for the next mailing, so plealJe continue to send me your membership applications for new members.

PLEASE DE SURE T(lI;' W:::ND ME A CHANGg OF ADD ESS WHENEVr;~ YOU MOVE. ,Jut' Petrographs are mailed c-;;l Third Class, and they WILL NOT BE lFORW ARDED BY THE POST OFFICE. I was aware that about 20 members moved only by sending our renewal notices fU'St class as a fmal notice that they were being dropped from our roster!

Wish me luck. After 250 miles of whitewater rowing, I 'will return a much humbler boater! Two of the rapids on the Colorado are listed in a book entitled "Ten of the Biggest Drops", and they are listed as a Class X, which is the highest class for whitewater. So, it should be interesting -- me in my 14'5" x 7-1/2' rubber duckie against all odds. I just cooldn 't resist, so I purchased a waterproof camera. I'm going through the Canyon without any pictures! Take care all, and my thoughts are with all of you.

Thanks for all your support Candy

MEMBER INCENTIVE

Last year the membership voted for an attendance incentive when they set up a special door prize. One hundred dollars is to be set aside with $10 per month added until there is a winner. TO'be eligible for this prize (just think how many things you can buy at our club show), you must be a currently paid-up member and be I!)fe8eDt at the meeting. After a winner is proclaimed, the sequence will start again. Odds are better than the state lottery, so why don't you come to our next meeting.

PRINCRPALS OF STONE CARVnNG

BY DO BUSCHKE

Carving is done by bringing the stone to the grinding wheel, with a lathe type bench motor, or by bringing the grinder to the hand held stone as with a handpiece or Foredom. My preference is a handpiece as I have more control. It is important to remem­ber the dangers of breathing stone dust so a water spray or drip must be used. The water also keeps the grinding tool cool QIld will prevent damage or excess wear.

The handpiece can be held in a "pen" or "palm thumb" grip. 'The "pen" hold is good for delicate work, but is more fatiguing and may lend to finger cramps after a short time. The "palm thumb" grip is less fatiguing and may be used comfortably for a longer time. The handpiece is placed in the palm and loosely held vith the four fingers. The thumb is placed on the stone being worked. The other hand helps hold the stone securely. SmallstoDes should be held in a hand clamp or can be dopped or epox.yed to a wooden dowel.

Diamond wheels or point:s are the most efficient and also the most expensive. Scintered diamonds are the best buy and are worth the extra money fol' the serious carver. Carborundum stones wear down faster and add more dust to the breathing environment. Use more water, drip or spray and consider wearing a face mask.

Finishing and polishing the carved stone can be more time consuming than the actual rough carving. The carving has been done with the coarsest stone and fmishing is done with a finer grit or with old diamonds that are quite worn. The idea is to remove scratches and irregularities. All carving and finishing should be done "with the flow". Grind in the direction of the pattern, such I:lS animal carvings should follow the lines of the fur and the limbs. Floral patterns should be cut in the direction of the growth patterns. Don't cross cut as these ridges are difficult to grind out when you begin your finishing.

Polishing materials I like are Bobbing Compound, SureShine, White Diamond and Zam.

The concave and free form surfaces of carving are extremely difficult to polish and require much time and patience. These concave and free form lines also make for the most beautiful carvings, so I think it is worth the extra effort.

OCK UMBLIES III

SAFETY: It must be your guide. Are you wearing safety glasses? After using equipment, are you cleaning it and replac­ing it, if on a shelf, is it behind the lip? (EARTHQUAKES, you now). Don't use alcohol burners near the soldering table. Know where the fire extinguishers, the sand buckets and the blanket are. We hope we will never get to use any of these.

It's nice to see more kids among our members. Edna A. has r ally been busy on Saturdays.

4

.Bob Silva teUs us'our new members include a dental technician, ' a telephone repair man, n bric mason and a contractor, probably even more by the time you read this.

Nann Gammon hopes to have his sailboat intarsia under foot oon. Everyone who has seen it tells him it should be on a Wall,

not embedded in the patio - - too much work to let anyone step OD it.

A ain, thank you to our snack providers. They sure taste good with coffee. By the way, there is a contribution jar next to the coffee. The club does not provide it. Extra proceeds pay for our spagetti dinner.

Leonard Sagerty is back on Friday nights after his eye surgery. You should drop by on Sunday and watch Ron Miller update those belts. Scott Clark was working on a beautiful blue la~e sate last week.

Joan Warren has taken to making spheres. She's looking for th\., perfect bowling ball, we think. From the big to the small - - ask to see the tiny stones Monty makes. Also Bill Collins sure loused up his sphere when a belt gave way. It really was the machine's fault, but it's more fun to pick on Bill than the ma­chine.

We had a visit during Easter vacation from one of the teachers Elmer Snyder visits. She plans to join us when school is out in June. Keep up the visits, Elmer. Our very able substitute host while Elmer and Sadie were gone were the Ashleys and the Beiterbys. Thank you.

Several people have asked questions we can't answer. Try Fern Brown, our librarian. She often can point you to the right book and you can find the answer and tell the rest of us. Makes you look so smart.

Pam and Charlie Pyles (2541 Taylor, Apt. 4B, Shelby NC 28142) sent us a card. She laments the fact there is no gem club nearby. She is the young lady whose husband got out of the service about a year ago and they moved to North Carolina.

Bill Luna is here most Tuesdays if you want gold plating done.

Pia Marloff finally got her spoon cast. She also has a new invention to Bet patients to take their medicine.

Blood donor, N~l Zimmerman, reminds us the need is still here. For details, call him. Use our directory.

Ab, Snyders Ranch. California's answer to Quartzite. Hope you found everything you wanted. Arnold Barron was in rare form maneuvering to get a Friday ride and a Saturday ride. His comment, "But it's for the club." Bill Walsh postponed surgery so he could go. Said the hospital put him off.

Ed Rigor tried emergency service in Bakersfield. Hope all i~ well by now.

Ray's fast women (with a few men) finished up the stapling of

the Petrograph. Give him a call. He can use more help and explain his conunittee's name.

) Check out Ellen Placas' traveling companions in the parking lot­- two of the most gorgeous dogs you've ever seen. They wait very patiently for her return. And did you know we have champion in our midst? Dick Miner has been invited to bowl in a regional meet.

Nice to see Bob Drummond's mother visiting from Arizona.

Arnold did a go~d job at the silent auction taldng over for Joe Hammond who was ill.

I was very impressed with Elmer Snyder's report. As of May 13th, he and his conunittee (the Korsteads, Roy leRoy, Bob Raymond, Horace Robertson and Shirley Buschke) have visited 201 classes. With an average of 30 kids per class, a total of 6,030 kids have had a hands on experience with rocks. Elmer could use some help. Most presentations last about 20 minutes with about 15 minutes for handling the rocks and then there are questions. The kids don't seem to mind when you don't mow all the answers. Later in May, Elmer and Bill Collins are going to visit the school for the deaf, so the total for the year should increase.

Hey, the Y is going to fix the roof I I I

See you at the picnic. Get busy selling tickets and making that ) jewelry donation for the scholarship fund.

"S" PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Summer vacations are almost here, I hope you all have Il wonder­ful time. Rest up and be ready for our August Show.

Our picnic will be July 26 this year, tail gating, auction, good food and you --what more could we ask.

Shop clean up will be on Saturday the 25th.

We have been inspected by the Hayward Fire Dept. fC(lCntly and found wanting in several areas. Our fire extinguishers have to be updated and added to. We have a permit for using torches on the premises. Storage area near the ceiling is being reorganzied to allow proper distance and we are placing wiring in conduit, etc.

We now own a TV, VCR, copy machine thanks to the shop's special fund.

Board meetings will continue as usual during the Summer.

NEW SHOP EQUiPMENT "NO, WE AREN'T BANKRUPTING THE CLUB."

At the last meeting we heard whispers to the effect the club was going bankrupt. Now way.

Much of our equipment is old and fortunately we have members who keep it in good shape but since we are open everyday, usage has increased adding wear and tear. Also many of the recent plU'Chases have been on the wish list for years. New things do come along, too.

Because of the hal'd work of a few individuals, estate sales are attended and purchases made. These items are revamped, have been used to refurbish, replace equipment or enhance the shop. No dues or show money has been used. It seems fair that those who support get the use of the new.

Since we are a non-profit educational club, we must educate (through club meetings, classes for members, visits to schools and scholarships) and spend our money or the IRS will want its share.

The shop conunittee has chosen to have the membership be the winners in this situation.

SERVING THE SIX REGIO L FEDERATIONS

PU Ie RELATIO S

ARTICLE #9 - " EALE §"

Whether we're in a. recession or in uboom" times, the importance of dealers throughout this great hobby

cannot be overemphasized. We rely on dealers to provide us with the "tools" that we need to work with ­and by that I mean more than picks and shovels for field trips, collecting and the like. If you've ever looked

through magazines for the hobbyists, you'll fmd allldnds of items to make the hobby more attractive and

interesting - a great majority of these are provided by your local dealers as well as those from coast to coast.

Can you imagine a gems how without dealers? Fortunately most clubs have seen the importance if for

no more than bringing in the public (gate receipts are very important to any show and dealers can draw the

public with items used by jewelers, craftpersons, consumers, as well as club members for projects of all

types).

Additionally, you may belong to a club/society that is fortunate enough to have club members who own and operate local businesses associated with the hobby of "rockhoun.~J~ff,." !.f so, you have a wealth of

experience available to you. as well as a local source for the "tools" you'll need to grow in the hobby. Many

of these "old timers" can p~vide you with locations of gems and mineh.:'.:.~ that thf.".' ~,(' -::ned about in earlier times and most will be happy to share these with fellow club members. l~ some cases, they can also provide you with goods and services at "cost-plusH prices.

Are you aware that some clubs are allowing the placement of "dealer" ads in their bulletins from club

members who are dealers (business card size)? It appears to provide money that can be used to upgrade the

quality of t..'1e local newsletters as well as provide sources (and reminders) for members who may need items

from time to time. If th.ere are nQ restrictions (legal, moral or whatever) you mig}1.~ want to consider it.

Has your club/society ever considered a field trip to club members' homes and lapidary shops? There's a lot of foGsm:::?" laying around for such an outing and the idea is certai.."J.y Rr: . ~xcen.ent one for anytime of the ye~x.

• YOU N S VE I E! There is no substitute for blood when blood is needed. Accidents and most major medical procedures require that blood be available.

YOU T BUTE C M NI ...,! An adequate blood supply is as important to the welfare of the community as po ice and tre :p:ro~ection. 1\vo­hundred and seventy-five units of blood are needed everyday.

YOU RECEIVE ) ~ DIT! You can designate your credit to a patient, deposit it in a group account, start a Family, Individual or Gift Assurance Plan, or keep it in your own name. Credits are good for one year. When you or your group have credits available, the cost of blood replacement

Tartaric Acid will clean crystals. Put a spoonful of crystlas in water and immerse the specimen. Add more if necessary.

NEW CEMENT THAT REPAIRS QUARTZ CRYSTAL (CHIPS)

If you have been looking for a cement to repair quartz crystals, check with your local hardware stOl'C for a product called "Crystal Clear". It is made by Duro and comes in a small, red plastic syringe. It has the same refractive index as glass, is crystal clear, and is cured with UV light. Somewhat thick (only a small amount is needed), the cement dries in a few seconds under bright sunlight or a long-wave ultraviolet lamp. Under a short­wave lamp, it takes longer. On a broken quartz crystal, the repair almost disappears.

The package says it can be used to fLll holes and to repair glass. It should also be good for repairing many translucent minerals, especially those having a refractive index close to quartz.

To clean Chalcedony roses, immerse in solution of Axion for at least 12 hoW's. Then rinse in cold water.

PRECIOUS STONE RECORDS (CFMS Newsletter)

Most Precious: A flawless natural ruby of good color was carat for carat more valuable than emerald, diamond, or sapphire and, in the case of a 6-carat ruby, brought $30,000.

Largest: The largest recorded stone of gem quality was a 520,000 carat (229 pounds) aquamarine found near Mrarnbaia, Brazil, in 1910. It yielded over 200,000 carats of gem quality stones.

Rarest: The hardest of all gems, and the hardest known naturally occuning substance is diamond, which is, chemically, pure carbon. Diamonds are 90 times as hard as the next hardest mineral, corundum.

12

Densest Q.~m Mineral: The densest of all gem minerals is stibotantalite, a rare brownish-yellow mineral found in San Diego County, California, with a density of 7.46 grams per c.c.

Diamonds: 1be largest diamond ever discovered was a stone of 3.106 metric carats (over 1-1/2 pounds) found by Captain M.F. Wells in the Premier Mine, Pretoria, South Africa, on January 26, 1905. Cut from this diamond is the largest cut diamond in the world -- the Star of Africa, it has 74 facets and weighs 530.2 metric carats. The rarest colored diamonds are blue and pink. The largest known blue diamond is the Hope Diamond (1l2-1/2 carats), the largest known pink diamond is a 24 carat with an estimated worth of $1,250,000.

Emeralds: Of gem quality emeralds, the largest known is the Devonshire stone of 1350 carats from Muso, Colombia.

SaDDhires: The largest cut sapphire in existence is the "Black Star Sapphire of Queensland", weighing 1,444 carats, carved in 1953-55 from a rough stone of 2,097 carats.

Ruby: The largest natural ruby known was a 1,184 carat stone of Burmese origin.

~: The largest silver nugget ever recorded was one of 2,75,) 1X'un,j, ":-\"'I e: :.r Sonora, Mexico.

SAW INFO (Tu.le Gem ,'-\ll'" MiM!'?"

Line bottom of your saw with a double thickness of burlap. When it is time to clean, pick up liner by the comers and lay it on the saw carriage to drain overnight.

TIPS FROM BILL WALSH

When washing quartz crystals in acid (A-in-W) acid into water, put cry ,~t o'.' $ 0 0 _. 0" ','0';' .. 0 W ,.;v~ .... To check, lift out ?,"'( FO: '': bag in clean water to wash acid off.

In the past, I ahve used acid-proof buckets. In one, I put mwiatic acid (pool cleaner) and in the second, I put oxalic acid to speed the cleaning. I move the crystals from one bucket to the other without washing in between. It may take as long as two or three weeks to get them clean.

For pyrite cleaner, use a household cleaner with ammonia base and scrub with toothbrush.

10 Hardest mineral

To clean quartz including amethyst crystlas, cover them with vinegar and let them stand for 24 hours. Wash and rinse them and soak them overnight in household ammonia. Rinse and dry for their real beauty.

Disposable aluminum pan about 8" wide, b en up charcoal briquets, three tablesoons of each: water, household salt, liquid laundry bluing, or some kind of Tidy Bowl bluing.

Spread charcoal in pan. Mix water, salt, ammonia, and bluing in a jar and stir or shake until dissolved. Carefully pour over the solution over charcoal, making sure each piece gets wet. Crystals will grow for several days as the solution slowly evaporates. The crystals will be white unless you add coloring. Such as food coloring or bluing or Tidy Bowl.
