ROCKHOUND OF THE YEAR Dee Cable , Chairperson The AFMS has set up a special way for each dub, once a year, to honor a rockhound the members of the dub or an individual in the club deems worthy of recognition because of what that rockhound has done, or is doing to promote the well being of their club. This is not a competition. In the SCFMS, I have been given this honor to promote this worthy cause, to keep it organized and have decided to hand out certificates - one for the rockhound and one for the club - to honor those nominated. 1998, we got off to a roaring start, with Lester and Amy Bailey, Paul Bohmfalk, Ewing Evans, John W. Johnson, Bill and Lois Pattillo, and Sylvia Rainer. Lester and Amy Bailey were nominated by the Clear Lake Gem and Mineral Society, Houston, TX. They have served as the Show committee chairperson since 1981, Club Secretary, Historian, Refreshments chair, and Nominating committee.

Nephrite can be white, yellow, green and brown to black, depending on the amount of iron substituting for magnesium. Iron-poor tremolite is white, grey or green; whereas iron-rich varieties (actinolite) are darker green, grey-green, and grading though to black. Cowell jade has an iron content of up to 7.9% Fe O Fine, interlocking fibres of Cowell nephrite jade around a central prism of tremolite. Width of view is ~40 µm. Jade in South Australia Ninety-one separate jade outcrops were identified by Department of Mines geologists in 1974, and well over one hundred are now known. All are located within an area of ~10 km , referred to as the Cowell Jade Province. The bulk of resources occur on the 23 leases held by Gemstone Corporation of Australia Ltd.

Koshu Seals Only one in the world More and more people are buying ready-made seals. But the Koshu Tebori Insho Seals craftsmen of Yamanashi have never lost their passion for the unique beauty of hand-carved seals. I talked with one of them, Mr Shozo Yokomori, who has been working in this field for 45 years. The red parts are carved in order from the left. A "new" traditional craft Special because they are one of a kind It was not until after a proclamation ordering citizens to start using personal seals in the Meiji Period (1868-1912) that everyone started to own their own. Mr Yokomori reminds me that "Until then, the masses didn't even have their own surnames." Nevertheless, the history of seals goes way back to antiquity, in fact as far back as Mesopotamian civilization. Mechanized production has, of course, come to the world of seals, but Mr Yokomori says there is nothing to beat a hand-made seal because it is one of a kind and if a seal is not one of a kind it has no meaning at all. He explained that a difficult ancient Chinese character style is used on seals for this very purpose. The imprint reveals the beauty A seal, worth examining close up

90. How Are Gems Cut And Polished? Several common techniques are used in lapidary work One of the simplestlapidary forms is the cabochon, a stone that is smoothly rounded and polished http://www.tradeshop.com/gems/howcut.html

How are Gems Cut and Polished? A citrine quartz preform . . . . . . . . . . and the finished faceted stone. T he process of cutting and polishing gems is called gemcutting or lapidary , while a person who cuts and polishes gems is called a gemcutter or a lapidary (sometimes lapidarist). G emstone material that has not been extensively cut and polished is referred to generally as rough . Rough material that has been lightly hammered to knock off brittle, fractured material is said to have been cobbed Rough corundum A ll gems are cut and polished by progressive abrasion using finer and finer grits of harder substances. Diamond, the hardest naturally occurring substance, has a Mohs hardness of 10 and is used as an abrasive to cut and polish a wide variety of materials, including diamond itself. Silicon carbide, a manmade compound of silicon and carbon with a Mohs hardness of 9.5, is also widely used for cutting softer gemstones. Other compounds, such as cerium oxide, tin oxide, chromium oxide, and aluminum oxide, are frequently used in polishing gemstones. Lapidary Techniques S everal common techniques are used in lapidary work: sawing grinding sanding lapping ... tumbling U sing the techniques listed above, gemstones are typically fashioned into one of several familiar forms:

The earliest materials used were limestone basalt travertine , limestone breccia, and hornblende diorite The range of stylistic forms were quite varied. Many are original in design (Fig. 2), or representations of foreign designs (Fig. 3), some are common to pottery (e.g. ), to basket-work (e.g. ), and even to metal vessels (e.g. a stone vessel with simulated rivet-heads (Lauer 1976, pl. 109)). Others appear to be fantasies on the part of the craftsmen (Fig. 4), or stone representations of certain useful objects made of fragile or perishable materials for use in the afterlife (e.g. ). Stone vessel forms were sometimes imitated in pottery (Fig 5b), such as that expressed in the spiral and zigzag line decorations (Fig 5a) representing the mottled appearance of limestone breccia (Bourriau 1981). Many of these vessels are remarkable for both perfection of workmanship and purity of stylistic form, which is especially true in the case of hardrock vessels. Fig. 2.

Reports Submitted to FAMSI: Bradford Andrews Stone Tools and the Elite Political Economy at Epiclassic (A.D. 650-900) Xochicalco The Assemblage The elite flaked stone assemblage consists of 2,331 artifacts that were classified into items produced by core-blade, lapidary, and bifacial technologies ( Table 1 Table 2 The sample contains 1,920 core-blade artifacts ( Table 1 Table 1 ). The majority of these artifacts are standardized, parallel-sided blade segments (N = 1,314, Table 3 Table 3 ). The remaining core-blade artifacts are cores, core fragments (N = 9, Table 3 ), and artifacts related to the rejuvenation of core platforms (N = 133, Table 3 Figure 5 ). Most of the core-blade artifacts appear to be items used for utilitarian tasks although a few of them like the needle-tipped segments may have had ritual significance (i.e. blood-letting). The assemblage did reflect evidence that lapidary techniques were used to make beads in the elite zone ( Figure 5 Figure 5 , g). Two eccentrics and one small projectile point ( Table 4 ) also exhibited grinding (Figure 6, shown below) that may have been applied in the elite zone.

Polymer Clay r Projects Catalog Projects New This Week Shop Directory SUBSCRIBE Statistics For Bead Bugle Technology of Beads ... Wire Workout Published Every Other Week On Wednesday - Updated Daily Current Issue Published: 9-14-05 Yoruba Glass Beads by Kwesi Amanfrafo Contemporary glass bead making in West Africa is dominated by the Ghanaian powder glass industries. However, throughout the twentieth century and for centuries earlier, other glass bead makers in this region achieved prominence, notably the makers of "murakad" (Maure wet powder glass) and "Bida" beads (Massaga furnace wound). These two industries have both been examined somewhat extensively in the bead literature, as have the Ghanaian industries. Receiving less attention have been the various Yoruba (southwestern Nigeria) glass bead-making industries. Yoruba-made glass beads are either grouped with their Ghanaian powder glass counterparts or are practically unknown to students of beads in the West. Lapidary Beads Most of the evidence for Yoruba lapidary beads comes from the modern bead trade. Thus, like much contemporary African bead knowledge, our level of understanding is entirely superficial. The main documentary sources that confirm the trader origin myths include Eluyemi (1979) and Euba (1981). Such beads apparently have some age, indicated by their veneration even among groups removed from Yorubaland, such as the Krobo (southeastern Ghana), who covet the beads and endow them with mysterious properties and origins.

Pacheco’s Bead By KWESI AMANFRAFO At Rio dos Forcados, in Benin territory, barter takes place, chiefly in slaves, cotton cloth, and a few leopard skins, and palm oil, and certain blue beads with red lines, which they call coris . These things we buy for brass and copper arm rings , and all of this is of value at the Castle of Jorze da Mina, and our chief’s factor sells it for gold to the Negro merchants. — Pacheco Pereira (1506) The above quotation, from the dawn of the Atlantic trade to the west coast of Africa, is the first recorded European reference to what has come to be known as the "aggrey" bead. Now, nearly five hundred years later, identification of Pacheco’s "cori" or aggrey bead is still the subject of academic debate, the issue having been increasingly obfuscated over the centuries by both language problems and a general expansion of the definition to include virtually any old bead of value found or traded in West Africa. The purpose of this paper is to identify the cori bead described by Pacheco. Previous aggrey studies have focused on either the etymology of "aggrey", the material from which the bead was made, or interpretations of numerous historical references, beginning with Pacheco’s observations.
