    February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump the White House United States of America

    February 24, 2017 President Donald J. Trump The White House United States of America Dear President Trump, Since the founding of this country, science has been fundamental to the advancement of sound policy and economic prosperity and innovation. Science improves the lives of Americans, stimulates our economy, advances our understanding of our world, and protects us and our families from harm. As you select advisors that will help you to draft a blueprint for American policy, we urge you to make appointing a Science Advisor an immediate priority. Science is in the DNA of the United States. It plays an integral part in our nation's security, economic growth, public health, and infrastructure. Appointing a Science Advisor quickly will enable the Administration to maximize investments in science and develop a strategic plan that secures America’s leadership in science. The Science Advisor will assist your administration in driving innovation, and provide scientifically sound solutions to the pressing issues facing our nation today; including updating deteriorating infrastructure, combatting health epidemics, providing clean air and water, and securing valuable natural resources and minerals. Appointing a Science Advisor is a smart investment for our nation and for keeping our position as a scientific leader globally. Due to the integral role of the Science Advisor, we urge you to appoint an individual with a strong scientific background who understands the rigorous scientific method, the need for evidence-based science, and who can leverage the collaborative nature of the scientific community and the value of scientific research in shaping America’s future. As supporters of science, we urge you to work with our scientific organizations as you commence the selection process and the important task of advancing America’s scientific enterprise.

Diamond coating on edge of cutter/grinder Set screw You’re ready to start making your pendant. The first thing to do is select a stone. Pick a good quality cabo- chon. The purpose of wire wrapping is to showcase the stone, not necessarily the wire. A quality stone wrap always begins with a quality stone. This stone is dendritic jasper from Burro Creek, AZ. Use a soft touch. Hold stone with flat side down and turn on grooving machine to make the groove. It is best to make 4 to 6 passes around the stone to prevent chipping and prevent diamond from “wiping” off the diamond-coated grinding wheel. Woof!

    Welcome to Billings, Montana July 30-August 2, 2009 I would like to take a few minutes to welcome you to the AFMS/NFMS Show and Convention. There will be a number of special exhibits designed to make this a show you won’t forget for many years. Come join us and enjoy seeing the Moon Rock from NASA, a life sized Cave Bear, Dinosaurs, a world class Ruby Collection, a rare Yogo Sapphire Collection, a Polar Bear carving (4ft high, weighing 2000 lbs) and much more, as we are adding things everyday. We also look forward to seeing your special exhibits, so please take some time and think about what showcases you would like to enter, and also your collection or your craftsmanship that would make a great competition exhibit. Let’s show the country what the Northwest has to offer. We hope you plan your vacation around this show, and visit the many wonders that Montana has to offer: Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park, the Dinosaur Trail including Makoshika State Park, Little Big Horn Battle Field, where General Custer fought, Pompeys Pillar, and lots more, plus great areas for boating, fishing, camping and hiking. Plan on spending the entire week after the show taking advantage of our planned field trips collecting Montana Agate, Jasper, Petrified Wood, Bear Canyon fortification agate, a variety of fossils such ammonites, nautiloids, pine cones, stramatolites, crinoids, coral and others. There will also be a guided Geological Tour of the Pryor Mountains, a guided tour of the Stillwater mine smelter and several self guided tours for quartz crystals, opal and Montana sapphires.

    Agate Structures 3: Orbicular...Agate?

    Speaking of Agates and God, and Man - Agate Structures, Part 3 ©2015 Bill Kitchens Agate Structures 3: Orbicular...Agate? Thought I was going to say 'Jasper' didn't you? We usually think of jaspers when we think of orbicular structures, and the vast majority of orbicular materials are called 'jaspers'. If one surveys the whole array of orbicular material, including low end material, the majority may well be orbicular 'bird's eye' rhyolites. Some of the rhyolites are silicified and could be properly called jaspers. But some rocks called jaspers could better be called agates. The highest grade of the very popular gem stone from Madagascar called 'Ocean Jasper' is generally considered to be an agate, although some agate purists might classify it as an orbicular quartz. I have put consideration of orbicular agate far down in this study of agate although I gave thought to putting it first. Remember my mentioning seeing a definition of chalcedony as "fibrous spherical silica" ? Some of the visible characteristics of orbicular agate give us windows into what might occur on the micro and sub- microscopic scales in all agate. Take a look at the close-up photo, below, of cheery Ocean Jasper orbs. They consist, as far as I can tell from visual observation, of spherules of...well, let's wait on that, surrounded by bladed green quartz and banded chalcedony. Ocean Jasper, Madagascar Speaking of Agates and God, and Man - Agate Structures, Part 3 ©2015 Bill Kitchens Now, let's look at a macro-photo of another Ocean Jasper. This one allows us a look into a small cavity where long ago a moment was frozen in time.
