  • Agate Structures, Part 2
    Agate Structures, Part 2: Dendrites, Plume, and Moss Agate There aren't any hard and fast rules that define and differentiate them, and in common practice appearance more than content defines one as “plume” and another as “moss” or “dendrite”. And, as some types of mosses, plumes and dendrites overlap or grade into one another along a continuum, a lot of latitude in labeling has to be expected. There are real differences among some of them however so I am going to sort them out into several groups based on how they appear and how they were formed, as best I can tell. Scrap Moss, and other Nondescript Moss Let me begin with a 'moss' that we know something about already – mineral exclusion bands. Many patterns we see in agate that appear on cut surfaces to be filaments or plumes are actually sheet like, albeit perhaps discontinuous and localized in extent. This San Carlos agate, which would probably be considered a 'moss agate' contains a wild melange structures that appear to be, in large part, mineral exclusion bands. They would consist then of finely distributed non-silica material contained in the agate seam that was simply swept up into layers by countervaling crystallization fronts moving outward from an array of various nucleation surfaces. San Carlos Agate, Mexico Speaking of Agates and God, and Man - Agate Structures, Part 2 © 2015 Bill Kitchens That out of the way, let's begin our look at 'moss agate' with what seems the simplest of the moss agate structures, and one unrelated to the other structures known as 'moss'.

    THE TOOL BELT A Masculine Jewellery Practice Tobias Okamoto Alm Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design Jewellery + Corpus Master, Essay Spring 2014 Tutor: Christina Zetterlund ABSTRACT This essay is built upon the argument that the tool belt is a piece of jewellery and it investigates where and how the tool belt affects social dynamics in society. It explores the intersections between equipment, accessory, and adornment; where practical and social functionality coexist in a symbiosis. The text adopts a critical gender perspective on jewellery and masculinity; it examines the strategies employed in masculine environments in order to be able to wear jewellery without the risk of feminization. It describes a process of myth creation, surrounding an idealised masculinity built upon rationality and resourcefulness, glorifying the professional construction worker. Acknowledging the tool belt as a piece of jewellery diversifies and enriches the jewellery field. It also expands the perspective on jewellery and masculinity, while opening up for further investigation of the relationship between adornment and gender dynamics. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................................................................................................ 1 JEWELLERY IN SOCIETY .................................................................................................................................................................................

  • Agate Structures, Part 1 © 2015 Bill Kitchens
    Agate Structures I: Formation and Classification of Common Agate Structures. Putting a Name on an Agate So, now we have some basic classifications of agates – those formed in volcanic host rocks and those formed in sedimentary host rocks. Agates that form in pockets, massive seam agates, and vein agates that are planar in shape. Then there are the fossil and mineral replacement agates that take the shape of the structure replaced. To those basics, we can add whole arrays of identifiers; some descriptive of patterns like fortification and moss or plume. Other identifiers are based on location like 'Lake Superior', 'Death Valley', 'Bloody Basin'; and some are proprietary trademarked names like 'Prudent Man' and 'Royal Aztec Lace'. Some of the more common terms describing the Brazilian Agate appearance of agate are wall banded, water-level, onyx, shadow, lace, eye, moss, plume, dendritic, tube, drape, sagenite, pseudomorph, geode, flame, stalactite, floating, brecciated, and ruin. Even stringing several of these classifiers together, as in “Laguna Lace”, or “Lake Superior Sagenite” can't adequately describe the simplest agate but it will put it in the ball park. Coming up is a section describing and attempting to explain some of the structures we see in agate. Realizing that one photo is worth a thousand words, we'll look at numerous of examples of these structures as we go along. Speaking of Agates and God, and Man – Agate Structures, Part 1 © 2015 Bill Kitchens Color and Color Banding Please recall from a few pages back (if you take these pdfs in series), that I spoke of crystallization and banding as inextricably interconnected, which they are – but also complexly interconnected.
