  • Diamonds & Emeralds & Rubies, Oh My: Gem Lore in Baum's Wonderful
    Diamonds and Emeralds and Rubies, Oh My: Gem Lore in Baum's The Wonderful World of Oz From the ruby-studded land of the Quadlings to ubiquitous references to glittering emeralds and diamonds, gemstones play a crucial role in Baum’s iconic Wonderful World of Oz. For over a century, critics have focused primarily on biographical and allegorical explanations for the choices of specific gems and metals without thoroughly exploring other possibilities. Instead, a bimetallic discourse on gold and silver introduced in the 1960s has been accepted as fact by academics and readers alike, as have gem choices linked to everything from Baum’s birthstone and Irish roots to Chicago’s Crystal Palace. I propose to take a new, archetypal approach, arguing, by contrast, that the selection of emerald (rather than, for example, topaz) as the featured gemstone links Oz to centuries of mythology. An examination of alchemy and its cultural influences, as well as Baum’s undisputed belief in Theosophy, furnish additional connections. Thus in nearly all ancient and sacred thought, esoteric gem lore has traditionally played integral roles in life and religious beliefs. A connection between emeralds and vision, for example, is associated with the Emperor Nero, Apostle John, Pliny the Elder, and even Napoleon. Moreover, this connection between the emerald and the human eye, which plays such a prominent role as the Emerald City where everyone must wear locked-on green goggles, has its roots in the Hindu Vedas, Sanskrit mantras, the Koran, and Judeo-Christian beliefs. This substantial precedent is echoed in the history of ruby lore and the connection of the red stone to female rulers who possess ruby thrones and a ruby-encircled cap (Glinda) to a ruby palace (Gaylette).

  • Spinel and Its Treatments: a Current Status Report

Oils and other its classification as “semi-precious” and a general confusion with another dominant red gemstone: ruby. More recently though, spinel has been making a strong comeback and so its popularity is once again on the rise. Articles of important new sources and even a book devoted to this beautiful and colorfully diverse gemstone have helped to focus attention back onto spinel (see e.g. Smith et.al., 2007; Senoble, 2008; Pardieu et.al., 2009; Krzemnicki, 2010; Yavorskyy and Hughes, 2010). In addition to exhibiting a vibrant array of shades and nuances of color, spinel has also traditionally been spared the controversy of treatments that have encumbered many other gem varieties, such as ruby, sapphire, emerald, quartz, topaz and tanzanite among others. Fortunately, spinel remains a gemstone that is generally free of treatment considerations. However, today some treatments are starting to be encountered (Robertson, 2012). This article is a review of those treatments and the gemological characteristics that help to distinguish them.

In carrying out its duties under this law, the section promotes the wise conservation and use of mineral resources by industry, commerce, agriculture, and other governmental agencies for the general welfare of the citizens of North Carolina. The Section conducts a number of basic and applied research projects in environmental resource planning, mineral resource explora­ tion, mineral statistics, and systematic geologic mapping. Services constitute a major portion ofthe Sections's activities and include identi­ fying rock and mineral samples submitted by the citizens of the state and providing consulting services and specially prepared reports to other agencies that require geological information. The Geological Survey Section publishes results of research in a series of Bulletins, Economic Papers, Information Circulars, Educa­ tional Series, Geologic Maps, and Special Publications.

  • Formation of Chrysocolla and Secondary Copper Phosphates in the Highly Weathered Supergene Zones of Some Australian Deposits
    Records of the Australian Museum (2001) Vol. 53: 49–56. ISSN 0067-1975 Formation of Chrysocolla and Secondary Copper Phosphates in the Highly Weathered Supergene Zones of Some Australian Deposits MARTIN J. CRANE, JAMES L. SHARPE AND PETER A. WILLIAMS School of Science, University of Western Sydney, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith South DC NSW 1797, Australia [email protected] (corresponding author) ABSTRACT. Intense weathering of copper orebodies in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia has produced an unusual suite of secondary copper minerals comprising chrysocolla, azurite, malachite and the phosphates libethenite and pseudomalachite. The phosphates persist in outcrop and show a marked zoning with libethenite confined to near-surface areas. Abundant chrysocolla is also found in these environments, but never replaces the two secondary phosphates or azurite. This leads to unusual assemblages of secondary copper minerals, that can, however, be explained by equilibrium models. Data from the literature are used to develop a comprehensive geochemical model that describes for the first time the origin and geochemical setting of this style of economically important mineralization.
