PEBBLE PUPS

The eight Pebble Pups and assorted adults learned about Hematite in February although I daresay we did

not learn all about hematite We did learn that it is an important source of iron and we noted things in the

room that were made of iron We also made hardness testing sets and made streak plates of broken porce-

lain figurines We used the streak plate to positively identify our hematite (reddish streak) Richard Jaegar

provided samples of Specular Hematite which is visually similar to imitation hematite called Hematine

Hematine is attracted to magnets which hematite is not unless there is enough Magnetite in the sample

The definitive test however is the streak (Yes the Specular Hematite has a reddish streak)

Link Cowan and his mom Heather joined us this time We hope they will make us a regular part of their ac-

tivities

Next month we will complete our rock-testing kits with the addition of an acid useful in determining if a

sample is carbonate We will draw up charts of characteristics of rocks and minerals and do a little compari-

son testing of samples

For April Holly Proctor will lead us in studying ancient tools and art work and in May we will work on some

educational posters to share our hobby with others

On a personal note I do my best and I beg forgiveness if I err while presenting

information and trying to impart knowledge I too am learning what is going on

with these rocks and minerals I DO appreciate everyonersquos input and ask that you

continue to work with me I cannot express adequately how grateful I am for

each bit whether material spoken or psychological that each of you contrib-

ute

--Julia Allande JRoA Coordinator

UPCOMING MEETINGShellip

Display Case - February 2020

Julia Allande put in ldquoAnimals in Mineralrdquo for the month of February This collection includes among others

carved stone ivory nukui nut and walrus tusk natural formations which show animals or animal features

fossilized animals and whimseys fabricated from polished stones No she herself did not do the carvings

but has thoroughly enjoyed collecting them And yes there IS a preponderance of alligators and crocodiles

How about you Do you collect flowers trees geodes pictures or anything else that will make a fine dis-

play How about that wire-wrapping you do Or is it beadwork Somebody I know incorporates mineral

specimens into textile works Knifes Walking sticks Bolo ties I know you have specimens to show off ndash

why be shy Share your hobby with the rest of us

RMFMS clubs observe the AFMS Code of Ethics

will respect both private and public property and will do no collecting on privately-owned land without the ownerrsquos

permission will keep informed on all laws regulations and rules governing collecting on public lands and observe them

will to the best of my ability ascertain the boundary lines of property on which plan to collect will use no firearms or blasting material in collecting areas will cause no willful damage to property of any kind - fences signs or buildings will leave all gates as found

will build fires in designated or safe places only and will be certain they are completely extinguished before leaving the area will discard burning material - matches cigarettes etc will fill all excavation holes which may be dangerous to livestock

will not contaminate wells creeks or other water supply will cause no willful damage to collecting material and will take home only what can reasonably use will practice conservation and undertake to utilize fully and well the materials have collected and will recycle my surplus for the pleasure and benefit of others

will support the Rockhound project HELP (Help Eliminate Litter Please) and leave all collecting areas devoid of litter re-gardless of how found will cooperate with field trip leaders and those in designated authority in all collecting areas

will report to my club or Federation officers Bureau of Land management or other authorities any deposit of petrified wood or other materials on public lands which should be protected for the enjoyment of future generations for public educational and scientific purposes will appreciate and protect our heritage of natural resources will observe the ldquoGolden Rulerdquo use ldquoGood Outdoor Mannersrdquo and at all times conduct myself in a manner which will add to the stat-ure and public image of rockhounds everywhere

Adherence to the AFMS Code of Ethics assures compliance with most statutes and regulations governing collecting on public lands and encourages respect for private property rights and the environment Clubs are urged to read the AFMS Code of Ethics in at least one meeting every year to publish the Code frequently in the club newsletter and to compel compliance on club field trips

issues of proposed legislation and enforcement affecting field collecting of minerals and fossils

organization with responsibility for advancing the interests of earth science amateurs with legislatures and land use management agencies

The AFMS will receive a report from ALAA at its annual meeting

The AFMS endorses the principle of multiple uses of public lands as a guarantee of continuing recreational opportunities

Wilderness and monument designations are inconsistent with the principle of multiple uses In view of the vast amount of public land al-ready designated as wilderness and monuments future such designations should be minimal taking into account the increased demand for recreational opportunities including rockhounding created by a growing population

In furtherance of the principle of multiple use the AFMS believes that laws regulations and rules established by relevant govern-mental authorities should be designed to allow freest possible access to all public lands coupled with minimal restrictions on the recrea-tional collection of minerals fossils gemstone materials and other naturally occurring materials

A right to collect minerals and fossils on public lands should be protected by statute

The AFMS urges its members to work with any or all government authorities to achieve a good working relationship in order to improve the
