    Palomar Gem & Mineral Club Newsletter August 2016 Volume 57 Issue 07 PGMC Annual Picnic We had our annual summer picnic last month at Jesmond Dene Park. As always Moni did a fine job of coordinating the event which included great food brought by everyone as well as a good time of comparing the fine rocks and gems we have found. We had a great slab swap between our members and everyone seemed to have a good time. As summer ends and we get ready to ramp up again, we hope everyone had a safe and productive summer. August is usually a down month for PGMC so that any specialty classes can take place at the shop and folks can go on vacation. We look forward to seeing everyone at the September meeting. Check out the rest of the newsletter for more information about September’s meeting as well as upcoming class schedules. We begin classes this week! 1 Textured Metal Class Come and join in the fun, learning to texture metal and make one-of-kind earrings (3 to 4 pairs) or a bracelet). They are great gifts. You may also learn how to make your own ear wires. Instructors: Diane Hall & Annie Heffner Location: Club Shop Dates: November 20, 2016 Time: 10am-4pm Fee: $35 plus supply cost (club membership required - $25 fee for single membership). You will need about 1 ounce of silver or copper sheet, which we will purchase for every one who is signed up by November 11th. Sign ups after that will need to provide their own material.

  • The Wittelsbach-Graff and Hope Diamonds: Not Cut from the Same Rough
    THE WITTELSBACH-GRAFF AND HOPE DIAMONDS: NOT CUT FROM THE SAME ROUGH Eloïse Gaillou, Wuyi Wang, Jeffrey E. Post, John M. King, James E. Butler, Alan T. Collins, and Thomas M. Moses Two historic blue diamonds, the Hope and the Wittelsbach-Graff, appeared together for the first time at the Smithsonian Institution in 2010. Both diamonds were apparently purchased in India in the 17th century and later belonged to European royalty. In addition to the parallels in their histo- ries, their comparable color and bright, long-lasting orange-red phosphorescence have led to speculation that these two diamonds might have come from the same piece of rough. Although the diamonds are similar spectroscopically, their dislocation patterns observed with the DiamondView differ in scale and texture, and they do not show the same internal strain features. The results indicate that the two diamonds did not originate from the same crystal, though they likely experienced similar geologic histories. he earliest records of the famous Hope and Adornment (Toison d’Or de la Parure de Couleur) in Wittelsbach-Graff diamonds (figure 1) show 1749, but was stolen in 1792 during the French T them in the possession of prominent Revolution.

  • Phenomenal Gemstones Possess Striking Optical Effects, Making Them Truly a Sight for Sore Eyes
    THE PHENOMENAL PROPERTIES OF GEMS Phenomenal gemstones possess striking optical effects, making them truly a sight for sore eyes. Here is GIA’s guide to understanding what makes each phenomenon so uniquely brilliant. ASTERISM CROSSING BANDS OF REFLECTED LIGHT CREATE A SIX-RAYED STAR-LIKE APPEARANCE. ASTERISM OCCURS IN THE DOME OF A CABOCHON, AND CAN BE SEEN IN GEMS LIKE RUBIES AND SAPPHIRES. ADULARESCENCE THE SAME SCATTERING OF LIGHT THAT MAKES THE SKY BLUE CREATES A MILKY, BLUISH-WHITE GLOW, LIKE MOONLIGHT SHINING THROUGH A VEIL OF CLOUDS. MOONSTONE IS THE ONLY GEM THAT DISPLAYS IT. AVENTURESCENCE FOUND IN NATURAL GEMS LIKE SUNSTONE FELDSPAR AND AVENTURINE QUARTZ, IT DISPLAYS A GLITTERY EFFECT CAUSED BY LIGHT REFLECTING FROM SMALL, FLAT INCLUSIONS. CHATOYANCY OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE “CAT’S EYE” EFFECT, BANDS OF LIGHT ARE CAUSED BY THE REFLECTION OF LIGHT FROM MANY PARALLEL, NEEDLE-LIKE INCLUSIONS INSIDE A CABOCHON. NOTABLE GEMS THAT DISPLAY CHATOYANCY INCLUDE CAT’S EYE TOURMALINE AND CAT’S EYE CHRYSOBERYL. IRIDESCENCE ALSO SEEN IN SOAP BUBBLES AND OIL SLICKS, IT’S A RAINBOW EFFECT THAT IS CREATED WHEN LIGHT IS BROKEN UP INTO DIFFERENT COLORS. LOOK FOR IT IN FIRE AGATE AND OPAL AMMONITE (KNOWN BY THE TRADE AS AMMOLITE). LABR ADORESCENCE A BROAD FLASH OF COLOR THAT APPEARS IN LABRADORITE FELDSPAR, IT’S CAUSED BY LIGHT INTERACTING WITH THIN LAYERS IN THE STONE, AND DISAPPEARS WHEN THE GEM IS MOVED. INSIDER’S TIP: THE MOST COMMON PHENOMENAL COLOR IN LABRADORITE IS BLUE. PLAY OF COLOR THE FLASHING RAINBOW-LIKE COLORS IN OPAL THAT FLASH AT YOU AS YOU TURN THE STONE OR MOVE AROUND IT.

  • Get Reactive in System 96!
    Get Reactive in System 96! Uroboros has created two unique glass formulas for System 96 that are designed to create an interface color, or a reac on, when melted against certain other colors. This occurs when ions from the two adjacent glasses migrate and mingle when the gl asses become hot and ß uid. Given the right glass chemistry, the comingled ions form a very thin colored line, or reac on. Since our formulas react to create a no ceably reddish hue we named them Red Reac ves: as in Red Reac ve Transparent, and Red Reac ve Opal. The primary ingredient needed in a glass to generate a reac on color with our Reac ve glass is Copper. Copper is present in many blue and blue-green glass colors, but in some cases in too low a concentra on to create a no ceable reac on. For simplicity, all System 96 colors have been graded for their poten al to react into three categories: Strong, Medium, and Mild. See them all listed in the chart on the back of this page. You will Þ nd that the intensity of the reac on color will get stronger with longer, ho er, or repeat Þ rings. This is because the copper ions have more me to mingle with their friendly reac ve partners in the adjacent glass. The chart rankings are based on a typical single Þ ring cycle. You could get a Medium reac on from a color graded as Mild by Þ ring it ho er, or Þ ring mul ple mes.
