TURQUOISE, SILVER AND COPPER ART SCENES FROM GEM AND MIN- ERAL SHOW SHOW CONT. 7 FOSSIL HUNT 8 REPORT AND CELEBRATIONS PRESIDENT S MESSAGE POINTS OF INTEREST: Featured Member Scenes from Show Fossil Hunt Secretary s Report President s Message 9 10 I became a member of CTGMS in October, The first time I went out to the club house, several members got me started making a cabochon, which I still have and enjoy. They showed me around the shop, gave me a piece of agate, helped me cut it and sent me to the polisher. I discovered their love for rocks was just as crazy as my love for rocks. My love for rocks came early on as my Dad and Mom loved rock hunting and collecting rocks. Many of our family outings and vacations brought home rocks. Even now my 85 year old Mom has her rocks in HER rock garden. I have hunted and collected rocks & minerals in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and most often, here in Texas. Gem Trails Books have led me on many exciting trips. Colorado summer vacations have made great rock hunting experiences. I have hunted and found garnet; olivine and peridot, near Nathrop, pyrite, galena and gold around Leadville, mahogany obsidian north of Pagosa Springs, rhyolite north of Durango, aquamarine, Mount Antero, apache tears south of Gunnison, quartz and topaz at Tarryall, marble from Marble, fossilized wood, dinosaur bone, coprolite, picture rock, and agates near Cortez. In Wyoming, near Jeffery City, I found jade and Sweetwater River Agate. In Montana, I went sapphire digging near Helena and Phillipsburg where I found pale blue, yellow and clear sapphire. You did not just find them on top of the ground. You would screen river gravel from up on top of this hill that was mine tailings from years and years ago. You then shoveled these screenings into 5 gallon buckets, hauled them to the river to screen and wash, You would wash the gravel by wading out into the lake, shaking the screens in a rotating way, the heavy sapphire would move to the bottom center of the screens. EXCITING! I have a ring and a pendant of sapphire found and faceted there at the mine. From Utah, I found pigeon blood agate, grape agate nodules, Green River agate, and petrified wood.
2 CONTD. Idaho s Spencer Opal mine was hard rock mining. The best opal I got was some I bought at their shop. Memorable rock hunting, I would say for sure! Fun times with a sledge hammer, chisel, with the altitude much higher than here in Abilene and the sun was a lot hotter too. Arkansas Mount Ida, I saw a lot of clear quartz crystals big ones. New Mexico, I have found fairy crosses, near Roswell, Pedernal agate, Abiquiu, and copper ore near Pecos. My favorite rocks, so far, from New Mexico is my beautiful tumbled granite. LEAVERITES from the Chama River. These beautiful rocks are on my back porch where friends also enjoy seeing them. However, my favorite of all rocks and minerals is the very one I have never found. Turquoise. SOMEDAY! SOMEDAY! My favorite club activities have been our field trips. Field trips, I feel, are one of our club s best activities. I really enjoy our club field trips! Thanks to Tony and Judy Steele, field trip coordinators, we have had some really good trips. I have been to Cortez, CO. (May ), Study Butte, TX (Big Bend Area) (2001 & 2002; Alpine (November ); Brenholtz Ranch (2004 & 2005); and Stillwell Ranch (November ). My favorite field trip was our trip to Cortez, CO. (May ) when the Sanchez s (SAN JUAN GEMS) led our daily trips finding coprolite and fossilized bone. members. This is a good opportunity to say thanks again to members of CTGMS who have been generous with their time and knowledge teaching me creative lapidary arts, sawing, polishing stones; Don Brenholtz, Charlie Lightfoot and Allen McDaniel, sterling silver chain making; Ray Castle, SS wire wrapping; Sallie Lightfoot, faceting gemstones. Jim Owens, and silversmithing/ metalsmithing (Level l 4); Jerry Davis. Many of our generous members have given me rocks to work with when I first came to the club, and they got me started. I learned right on that I could get our experienced members to check the polish on my cabochon when I thought I had it completed; they would send me right back to the polisher. And, they were always right. But here in Texas, I enjoy rock hunting the most. Gem quality topaz, crystal, tourmaline, from the Seaquist Ranch, Mason County, agates, jasper, petrified wood, cinnabar, Big Bend areas, llanite, Llano County, gypsum, flint, fluorite, mica, fossils, limestone from the West Texas area, just to list a few. Fossils are also great collecting around Cisco, Brownwood and south of Abilene. My most unique rock collection is a 24 x 36 frame with 185 arrowheads mounted in it. I have worked with our annual Gem & Mineral Show each year since April I have been the photographer, demonstrated silversmithing, beading, exhibited minerals and artifacts, and exhibited my silver jewelry and lapidary art. I have served as club Treasurer, on the Scholarship Search Committee, and Editor of our newsletter, the INFORMER. I have enjoyed our club s participation in many community projects. I feel that our club has some really fun opportunities available for all There just does not seem to be enough time to do all I want to do. However, next field trip. Lord willing... I M GOING! JoAn Rock hunting has its serious moments as JoAn tries to decide whether to leave this one. VOLUME 2, ISSUE 6 Page 2

4 VOLUME 2, ISSUE 6 Page 4 IT TAKES AN ARTIST TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE SILVER LOOK LIKE ART WORK JOAN IS ABLE TO DO THAT. Bracelets like this one require several hours of planning and work. This was accomplished as a level 4 project in silversmithing. JoAn used patina techniques to color this bracelet.
