JANUARY PROGRAM

Conrad Grundke

“Mount St. Helen” It’s topical, current and presented by one of the best.Mount St. Helens is showing plumes of activity again. Are these warning signs of another blow-up? Come to the January meeting to hear Conrad Grundke give another of his clarifying presentations. Using powerpoint slides and his own extensive geological knowledge, Connie will fill us in on Mount St. Helens, it’s history in the Ring of Fire and the Cascade Mountains. Are we downslope from an impending lava flow? Perhaps not, but show up at the meeting and find out for sure if your zip code is scheduled for annihilation. Not to be missed. See you there. Guests welcome.

Ed,the program chair

2007 will be a good year. Good members, good pro-grams. Good field trips, good silent auctions. Another good gem show. You can easily remember the dates for the ‘07 show, which is in July --it’s the two days following Friday the 13th.By the way, will we begin to refer to 2007 as “double o seven”?You heard it here first. I want to purchase some map materials, and an easel for displaying them At our meetings. We can look at places for possible field trips. It’s Easier to go somewhere if you know where you’re going. (Write that down.) Members are requested to bring their jewelry or rock and mineral finds to meetings. We can use a digital camera and the projector to let everyone comfortably view what you have or what you have made. Let’s have a little more brag-ging on what we’re doing

Thank you,Edgar, the Prez

Wish you had a wonderful Holiday Season!We really had a fun and full of “Carols” party and a hi-larious white elephant gift exchange! None the last the deli-cious food!

Well, it’s that time of the year! Dues are due! Please, send your check to:

SHOW REPORT

Well it’s a new year and time to begin talking about this year’s show. The show will be on July 14th and 15th and of course our set-up will be on the 13th. The featured stone for this show is Garnet, a stone which beautiful, plentiful, and doesn’t require a kings ran-som to afford one. So there are the important facts for the 2007 show. The other fact’s everyone knows about….. volunteers needed for security, set-up, prizes, displays, games, books, ticket sales, etc., etc., etc. I know I’m preach-ing to the choir but we all need to do our part. I really believe that our show is a cut above the rest both in scale and scope. It makes me feel proud to be in the club that puts on such a show. Things to get started on are your displays for this year. We’ve always had great ones and this year we want to take a little time during regular business hours to show everyone how easy it is to have a top notch display. Look in the Nugget for when these demonstra-tions are going to be scheduled. Also, stop by the Shop and see how easy it is to make your display items. Remember you can share a display case with someone else so you don’t have to think you need to fill one up all by yourself. Happy New Year, and best wishes for all your hobby projects,

MINERAL REPORT

Dueling Opinions: ArgentiumTTM

Opinion 1 by Carrell Chadwell Lloyd ArgentiumTM sterling silver is now available for pur-chase. This exciting new alloy has a number of ad-vantages over standard sterling silver. • It is tarnish resistant. According to a press re-lease from the Silver Users Association, if standard sterling silver tarnishes in 2 weeks, then ArgentiumTM sterling silver will still be tarnish-free after 2 years. It requires only light dusting or occasional wiping with a soft cloth to keep its shine. • It does not develop firescale. No more polishing and polishing to remove the pink! • It can be made nearly twice as hard as standard sterling silver- even after soldering –by a simple heat treatment, even in a domestic oven at 450 degrees F for 2 hours. • It is more ductile that standard sterling silver, fa-cilitating forming processes such as stamping. • It is stronger and more dent-resistant. • Unlike standard sterling silver, it can be used in products requiring spring properities.ArgentiumTM sterling silver was invented at Middle-sex University in Britain. Argentium Silver Co has partnered with Stern-Leach, a leading American silver manufacturer, to sell ArgentiumTM . The Silver Us-ers Association expects that ArgentiumTM will replace up to 50% of the total worldwide silver market share from traditional sterling silver as early as 2010. There are several differences is working with Ar-gentium as opposed to standard sterling silver, as de-scribed below.Silversmithing ArgentiumTM melts a 60F low-er than standard sterling silver. When annealing, it should be noted that ArgentiumTM shows a paler color when heated. If it looks light yellow or orange, it is too hot. To avoid overheating , annealing and solders should be performed in a darkened area. In soldering, lower-temperature solders are recom-mended—medium, easy and extra-easy. Standard soldering fluxes are used. ArgentiumTM should not be quenched immediately after heating for annealing or soldeing. It retains heat longer than standard sterling silver. It is important to wait to quench until any vis-ible red heat, observed in a darkened room, has disap-peared. If quenched too soon, it will be brittle.

Investmemt Casting The casting temperature range for ArgentiumTM is 1750-1800 F (955-980 C). Casting temperature cannot be judged by eye, since it displays a paler color when heated or molten. Lower flask temperatures are recommended, a mini-mum of 85 F (30 C) below regular temperatures used for standard sterling silver. A protective environment is recommended when melting ArgentiumTM. If not available, flux can be used (preferably boric acid.) Any oxides should be skimmed off the surface before stirring. Never mix ArgentiumTM with standard sterling silver To avoid contamination from other alloys, separate crucibles should be used, and silicon carbide crucibles should not be employed. (note: scrap does not need to be kept separate from standard sterling silver; it is .925 silver and may be combined with standard ster-ling silver for refining.) For wet investment removal, flasks should cool for 20-25 minutes before quenching. Castings will have approximately the same hardness as standard sterling silver (70-HV). To increase hardness to approximate-ly 95HV, casting can be heated at 580 F (300)C for 30-45 minutes and air cooled to room temperature For dry investment removal, flasks should cool to room temperature before removing castings from in-vestment. Hardness will be approximately 100000-HV. To re-melt, use at least a 50% fresh/50% scrap mix. More fresh metal will improve quality, Be sure that used trees and buttons are free from investment pow-der residue.Finishing Processes Separate polishing wheels should be used for Argentium, to avoid contamination from other alloys. To clean, it is important to use a neutral pH degreas-ing/cleaning solution, such as dish soap or Sunshine burnishing compound. Cleaned articles should be thoroughly rinsed with water and dried to avoid water spotting. For tumble finishing, use rough cut with epoxy or plastic cones and triangles and steel shout and solu-tion are clean. Treatment processes, such a coloring with liver of sulphur, will take longer that with stan-dard sterling silver.Cost ArgentiumTM sterling silver is 15% - 18% more expensive that standard sterling silver. For example, in a price quote from Rio Grande on 1/12/06, a 6”X 6” sheet of 24 gauge costs $50.70 for standard sterling,

PAGE 4THE NUGGET JAN 2007

$55.43 for Argentium™ sterling.Silvermark A representative of Rio Grande states that the traditional “sterling” silvermark should not be used on products made of ArgentiumTM, which is not actually sterling silver. He suggests that, because ArgentiumTM is guaranteed to be not less than 92.5% pure silver, fabricated articles can be stamped “.925” to indicate the standard of silver. However, as increas-ing use is made of ArgentiumTM, products specifically stamped with the “as” mark will become more sale-able that those marked “sterling” or “.925”. In oeder to utilize the “as” silvermark, a silvermark license must be purchased from the Argentium Silver Co Ltd. The application for can be downloaded from the website: www.argentiumsilver.com The applica-tion cost is $300: an annual fee for companies/ indi-viduals with a turnover of less than 0.5 $M That’s us!) is $600, with discounted rates for 2 or 3 year licenses. This would seem to put it out of reach for most of us.Sources Of ArgentiumTM Rio Grande (ww.riogrande.com, 1-800-545-6566) is now selling ArgentiumTM in casting grain, sheet, wire (including bezel wire) and tube. Rio espects to have ArgentiumTM Silver soder available soon. G&S Metals (www.argentium-ster-ling-silver.com, (1-800-852-2860) sells casting grain, flat sheet, wire, tubing and solders in Easy, Medium and Hard. It also sells ArgentiumTM findings, includ-ing beads, jumprings and earnuts. ArgentiumTM is very new, and sounds promising. Further information and technical help can be ob-tained at:www.argentiuminfo@sternleach.com or from Rio. Reports of personal experiences with this alloy are welcome. If you try working with Argenti-umTM, please send your comments to the Newsletter.Opinion2 .......................... By Sam Howeth After gathering and reading articles, some of which had twenty-two sources listed in the bibliography, about ArgentiumTM. The previous reviews concern themselves with differences and similarities between ArgentiumTM and traditional sterling silver. But this new material is just that, and as such has different properties and different problems associated with it, as does standard or traditional sterling silver. And by the way, all the articles refer to the sterling we have worked with as the “standard” or “traditional” ster-ling. “Sterling” has meant 92.5% of fine silver with 7.5% of copper. The word “silver” is not normally used with items stamped “sterling” since 92.5% fine silver is understood when the work “sterling” is used,

and with that same understanding the remaining 7.5% was copper. This new alloy meets the requirements of 92.5% fine silver and can claim the title of “sterling” but the balance is not 7.5% copper. There in is a pos-sible problem to all silversmiths. The following has been proposed. Items made of the new alloy are to be marked”.925” indicating the per-centage of silver but not sterling. It is suggested that “AS” be added to indicate the new alloy. It ii hoped items so marked will be more saleable that items showing the traditional marks. But to use the Argen-tium brand “AS” mark, a silvermark license must be applied for ($300) and then an annual fee ($600) if you gross less than a half million in sales per year. Herein lies the problem, very, very, few silversmiths are going to fork over $900. for a license to mark the new alloy so they: 1. do not use the metal, 2. use it and mark it without getting licensing permission, or 3. my greatest fear, use it and not mark it a ArgentiumTM. Those of us in the trade will not know for sure what we are working with in a repair scenario.. This can cause a big problem considering the difference in the melting temperature. Until the inventors or the purveyors of the new alloy come up with a simple drop of fluid that will indicate the presence of their alloy, it is suggested you exercise extra caution when repairing metals of questionable parentage. A new diamond stimulant came on the market that when tested registered to be a real diamond. The trade refused to sell them until the maker came up with a tester for the new stone… and they did. Déjà vu?

From the Hound Tail, 2006-04, Arlington Gem & Min-eral Club

Editor – These articles neglect to mention what the main difference between Sterling Silver and ArgentiumTM is. It is the use of the metal germanium instead of copper. Ger-manium is the ingredient that makes it tarnish resistant and firescale free

From Slab to Cab: Hints, Tips and Strategy

Cut the rough rock into one or more slabs that are just slightly thicker than the height of the cab you wish to make. When cutting the slab, take care to produce a flat, smooth cut. This will save lots of time at the flat lap. If the cut needs smoothing, mark and trim to size first. Smooth only the side that will become the bottom since the top will all be ground away anyway. Wash the cutting oil off your slab thoroughly. Mark-ing pen, dop wax or glue, nothing sticks well to an oily surface; a stone that comes off the dop stick, whether in the early or late stages of shaping or polishing, is often damaged. Using a template with an opening the size and shape of the finished cab, move around on the slab to discov-er an appealing area of the slab. Then mark the outline using a marking pen, a sharpened piece of aluminum wire, or pencil. Trim the marked piece using a trim saw, not a grind wheel, to remove most of the excess material. The saw removes material in large pieces plus a little dust, very efficiently; the grind wheel removes all material as dust, far more slowly. When doping (attaching a handle to the stone to be worked), favor a large diameter stick. It makes a stronger, more stable attachment to the stone than a small diameter stick. The handle goes on what will become the flat bottom of the cab. Avoid covering your marked outline with an overly large dop stick and excess dop wax. Heating the stone helps dop wax or hot melt glue bond to the stone. Grind the stone to the outline you marked; this estab-lishes the correct size and shape right away and makes shaping the dome easier later. Next, grind the edge all around so that it slopes in-ward a little (about 15 degrees) on the dome side of the cab. Be careful that the slope reaches to the edge on the bottom but don’t cut into the bottom, which would reduce your cab size. Later, as you round the dome retain a little of this slope at the base; it makes your cab less prone to edge chipping and offers a bet-ter grip than a vertical slope when you mount the stone

in its setting. When grinding, avoid large jumps in grit size when changing to the next wheel. All grind wheels remove material, coarse grit wheels faster than finer grit. They also bruise the underlying stone; the coarser produces deeper bruising. Jumping prematurely to a fine wheel slows you down overall because the deeper bruises will take longer to remove than an intermediate grit wheel. Or worse, everything looks fine but the bruis-ing is not removed. Typically, this is most noticeable when polishing just doesn’t work no matter what you do. The bruises are still present resulting in a foggy look or polishing removes a few bruise particles leav-ing a pitted or mottled surface. When polishing, work on the down-going portion of the wheel. Work from the center of your cab to the lower edge in a lifting and tilting motion. Avoid low-ering the stone allowing its upper edge to contact the face of the polish pad; the upper edge can catch the pad, which can violently throw the stone. Even if you have a firm grip on the dop stick the force is often enough to break the stone-to-wax bond, or to cut the face of the wheel. A safe way to remove a finished stone from a wax dop is to put it in your freezer for a while. Heat, gently applied, works too. Crushing the brittle wax with pli-ers or in a vise, a fast and popular method, risks break-ing the finished cab. Alcohol slowly dissolves dop wax and is most useful for clinging remnants rather than removing dop sticks. To further strengthen the edge of a finished cab to prevent chipping, give the bottom edge a very slight bevel (at about 45 degrees) with fine sandpaper.

BE A DEMONSTRATOR By Diana Paradis

It has been a few months since I first put out the call for SKILLED ARTISANS to sign up for the Demon-strator’s Directory. A few talented people have signed up to be listed in the Directory, but I feel that the over-all response could have been much better!

People helping people is not a new or foreign idea. The Demonstrator’s Directory is based upon this idea. When a person lists their name in the Directory as a demonstrator they are making a statement. They are stating that they care about keeping lapidary, and re-lated skills, alive by spreading their knowledge among others. They are stating that by teaching a skill they can be ambassadors between clubs, spreading com-radeship and good will. They are stating that they care about what happens to each and every club in the CFMS, large or small.

For those of you that need to be mentally refreshed, the Demonstrator’s Directory is a list of skilled peo-ple, young and old, male and female, that are willing to share their skill and knowledge with other clubs. To share this skill a person could (I) travel to another club with a presentation of “this is how its done, you can do it too (2) come to your club shop, or classes, to demonstrate and teach hands on (3) give open demon-strations at a rock show or event.

To make the Demonstrator’s Directory a success it is time for everyone to think about what role they can play in its future. Whether you are a skilled artisan, someone wanting to learn a skill, or a club wanting to expand its knowledge I need to hear trom you. I need instructors, I need clubs who want demonstrations, and I need input trom those who have helpful sug-gestions. The DirectoJ:)’-will benefit everyone in the CFMS for decades to come, be a part of its success.

Contact Diana Paradis at P.O. Box 1923, Vacaville CA 95696, (707) 447-5271, or wizo[a)Dacbell.net. Instructor’s forms can be found online at the CFMS site or obtained trom your Federation Director.

FIELLD TRIP REPORT

Hector Mine, Saturday December 9th,

Our club organized an inter-club outing to El-ementis Hector mine. Participating clubs : CCRMC, SJVLS,Needles, YVGMS. Quarry manager James Berry gave us brief history of the mine and an explanation of the commercial uses of the Hectorite the gluey white volcanic ash, used as a paint additive. We were allowed to drive and dig out specimens from the bottom of the large quarry-pit. The day was warm and sunny, and the location be-ing so white was inviting and pristine. It was fun to look and extract pastel opalite silica.We also checked the quarry dumps for travertine, magnesium oxide and basalt. Once the mine trip was over, we combed the Hector site for the plentiful cherry-pink agates. Some of us made to the zoisite location East of Ludlow.It was a neat trip and a great group of rockhounds.
