How many of us have used metal tweezers to pick up faceted gemstones? The photograph (right) shows a triangular ametrine (3.3 ct - Photo GemSelect) in the jaws of metal tweezers. This is asking for trouble more so with sharp corners ready to break out with a slip of the tweezers. Solution. Neil McCallum (New Zealand) has come up with a novel idea to hold your hard work without the risk of chipping. Buy a set of pearl tweezers (the ones pictured may be bought from Cut and Slice, Rubyvale). Use a saw, Dremmel or Foredom to make a cut from the tip of the tweezers lengthwise. Make sure the cut is wide enough to hold the larger stones! Mark-it! How many of us have missed the index notch when faceting gemstones? A number of machines have the main indices coloured, e.g., the VJ (shown below right) and some earlier Hall machines. In her seminar presentation (page 7), As Facetors Lose Their Faculties, Carol van der Pennen highlighted the problems beginners and those with impaired faculties face in matching the tiers on designs to the indices. As Carol noted there were old publications which illustrated designs with colour coded tiers and transparent overlays. Carol has developed a teaching technique which helps facetors to quickly identify which index to select for each tier. For the octagonal brilliant design (front cover) the breaks are blue which match the blue marks on the index wheel of a Gemmasta (shown right) and the mains are pink. BIC Mark-it permanent markers were found to be the best at staying on! The VJ has markings for a standard round brilliant: Mains - white, Breaks - blue and Stars - red. Front Cover Clockwise from Top Left: 2.35 carat gold zircon (Mud Tank, Central Australia) - baguette with cut corners (pages 14 & 15) (Photo: John Broadfoot); Baguette cut bicolour tourmaline 4.28 carat (GemSelect); Brazilian Agate Guitar Pick by Paul Clacher (Photo: Paul); Bicolour tourmaline step or emerald cut (Singapore Gems); 4.2 carat Brazilian Ametrine (GemSelect); Pink-red Malaia Garnet (GemSelect); Aquamarine crystal found and photographed by Bernard and Arlene Jackson (see page 11); 5.4 carat Malaia garnet cut by Neil McCallum (See page 9 for story on Malaia garnets).

35 Colour and Inclusions in Quartz Editor: John Broadfoot Quartz comes in many colours due to impurities or lattice imperfections. Most gem grade quartz is formed at lower temperatures (120 to 300 Celcius) in pegmatitic environments. Quartz can also contain many inclusions which can make for an interesting faceted stones. Unusual inclusions are collectors items! What colours quartz? Citrine appears to be due to microscopic colloidal ferric hydroxide. Rose quartz - manganese and maybe some titanium and lithium; Amethyst - presence of iron and possible radioactivity exposure; Smoky - Aluminium in the lattice. Asterism in Rose quartz is due to rutile needles. What inclusions are in quartz? As quartz forms crystals in hydrothermal situations such as vughs and geodes is quite common for minerals to be caught up in the crystal growth hence becoming inclusions. Liquids and gas may also be formed or trapped within the crystal. Below are just a few examples of inclusions found in quartz. Lepidocrosite - FeO(OH) in quartz. From: Madagascar Gemstones 43 ct Rutile in quartz. From: Madagascar Gemstones Actinolite in quartz. From: gems-inclusions.com Calcite and rutile inclusions in quartz.

36 AFG Activities Gwen from the Southern Rockhounds is so pleased having finished her first octagonal brilliant. Her tutor is Carol van der Pennen who recently gave a presentation on teaching students with disabilities. Gwen has battled the odds being legally blind and persevered with her facting. Well done Gwen! Beautiful Lake - Violent Past Lake Taupo After the 2016 Seminar a number stayed on to go fossicking mainly for gold. Pictured below are the alluvial diggings at Hargraves, near Mudgee. In the lower photograph, Doug Hughes, AFG member from South Australia, is looking happy or is that exhausted after a day digging. I think the score was gold 1 - Doug - nil! Jokes aside some did find some nice small pieces - not quite classed as nuggets! This Lake looks so peaceful now but was the site of the most destructive and violent volcanic eruption on the Earth s surface in the last 5000 years. It ejected some 50 cubic km of tephra in the eruption 1800 years ago. (See full story on page 23). This instability is the result of a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is going down under the Australian Plate. The depth of earthquakes is evidence of the subduction - deeper quakes to the West (see bottom figure). The figure immediately below shows the active volcanic zones. While the vents and geysers keep producing steam we are relatively safe!
