Each and every customer that buys from us has a story—why she opened a shop, how he got started piercing, places they’ve joined, stayed with, and even left, for many different reasons. We have made it our mission to know not just those professional stories, but also the personal stories of the people behind the enterprise. We have celebrated the births of babies, the proposals that clinched the coveted special somebody, the degrees earned, and the moves to new and exotic places. We have also been there through the illnesses, the hurricanes, and the deployments. Through each of these events, it has been our honor to listen to, to encourage, and to commiserate with each and every one of you. And so this month’s article is a reminder of the importance of caring not just about the sale in progress but about the backstory with which each of your customers walks through your door. Here are 3 tips you can share with your staff to help them truly care for your customers. 1. Make Every Customer Feel At Home. We’ve all been to places where counter staff looked down 2. Little Touches Matter Most. their noses at us, ignored us because they were busy Chances are, your shop has competition not too far away—and texting, or gave off some other hostile attitude.

That’s when the details irreversible. Remind your staff that oversized egos, personal come into play.

    “The birth of a Pearl is a wondrous event. A particle of sand, piece of a shell, or foreign object drifts into the Oyster’s body and the oyster begins to secrete layers of nacre (Mother-of-Pearl) around the irritant. Over time, the layers transform into a glowing one-of-a-kind Pearl. Pearls have taught me about gratitude and nature’s wisdom. How many of us are able to take a challenge, as Oysters do, and find the gift in it? It isn’t always easy to find the positive in the hardships we endure, but in time beauty is often revealed. When we assimilate what we have learned from the difficulties we have overcome, we can then celebrate them as blessings and continue to grow. Every woman deserves to feel beautiful. Pearls can help us feel beautiful on the outside, while we practice embracing the challenges on the inside.” I’d like to share our Treasured Gems with you: Gem #1: Everything happens to us for a reason, from which I can learn and grow. Gem #2: Trusting my intuition and a power greater then myself provides the best guidance. Gem #3: All I have is today. Let me make today a fully alive day. Gem #4: I will take full responsibility for my choices and not feel responsible about the choice of others. Gem #5: I will not hurt others, instead I will use compassion and always use respect. Gem #6: When I treat myself as a priority, I am better able to deal with life’s challenges.

LIN SUTHERLAND1* 4 1Geoscience, Australian Museum, 1 William Street, Sydney, NSW 2010, Australia. 5 *E-mail: [email protected] 6 Abstract: Sapphire is a gemstone of considerable reach and is much researched. It still delivers scientific surprises, as exemplified by a 7 recent paper in American Mineralogist that re-interprets the origin of needle-like rutile inclusions that form “silk” in sapphires. 8 Understanding of variations in sapphire genesis continues to expand. Keywords: Sapphire, inclusions, trace elements, genesis 9 Sapphire as a gem variety of corundum has wide use in the gem trade as one of the more historically valuable colored gem stones 10 (CGS) and is mined from a great variety of continental gem deposits across the world. A masterly compendium on this gemstone and its 11 ramifications is recently available (Hughes 2017). As a gem, sapphire ranges through all the colors of corundum, except where 12 sufficient Cr enters its α-alumina crystal structure and causes the red color of the variety ruby. Sapphire, as a key pillar in a wide 13 economic network of gem enhancing treatments, jewelry and other manufacturing enterprises, has elicited numerous scientific and 14 gemological enquiries into its internal nature and natural genesis and subsequent treatments. A further use of sapphire as a synthetic 15 material with a great variety of purposes also has triggered a proliferation of detailed studies on its growth, properties and other element 16 substitutional effects (Dobrovinski et al. 2009). Even with this vast range of studies, this apparently simple gemstone still yields 17 controversies and breakthroughs in understanding its genetic formation.

    Do Zircon and Monazite Consistently Record Garnet Growth in High-Grade Rocks?

    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 21, EGU2019-5915-1, 2019 EGU General Assembly 2019 © Author(s) 2019. CC Attribution 4.0 license. Do zircon and monazite consistently record garnet growth in high-grade rocks? Lorraine Tual (1,2), Ellen Kooijman (1), Melanie Schmitt (1), and Matthijs Smit (2) (1) Department of Geosciences, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden ([email protected]), (2) Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Garnet Lu-Hf ages are used to monitor the systematics of rare earth elements (REE) and age record in accessory minerals. We performed in-situ LA-(MC-)ICPMS U-(Th-)Pb dating and REE analysis on zircon and monazite in two contrasting high-grade rock samples: dry felsic granulite xenoliths from the Pamir, Tajikistan and fluid-rich, ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) migmatites from the Western Gneiss Region (WGR), Norway. In parallel, garnet from the same samples were subjected to REE analysis and dated by Lu-Hf. The datasets are compared to see whether, and to what extent, REE systematics in accessory phases can be correlated with garnet growth. Garnet in the hydrous UHP migmatite contains abundant zircon and monazite inclusions. The Gd/Yb values and U-(Th-)Pb ages of these inclusions show significant dispersion and do not systematically correlate. Highest Gd/Yb values occur at 420-410 and c. 420 Ma for monazite and zircon, respectively. Garnet in this rock yielded a Lu-Hf garnet bulk age of c. 422 Ma. The data obtained from the dry Pamir xenoliths show a different pattern. Accessory minerals grew in distinct pulses between 50 and 11 Ma, and indicate garnet growth between 42-37 Ma [1].
