3 Page 3 Gem Andalusite, Chiastolite and Kyanite Andalusite Kyanite Andalusite is an aluminium nesosilicate mineral with the chemical formula Al2SiO5. A clear variety first found in Andalusia, Spain can be cut into a gemstone. Faceted andalusite stones give a play of red, green, and yellow colors that resembles a muted form of iridescence, although the colors are actually the result of unusually strong pleochroism. Occurrence Andalusite is a common regional metamorphic mineral which forms under low pressure and low to high temperatures. The minerals kyanite and sillimanite are polymorphs of andalusite, each occurring under different temperature-pressure regimes and are therefore rarely found together in the same rock. Because of this the three minerals are a useful tool to help identify the pressure-temperature paths of the host rock in which they are found. An example rock includes hornfels. Chiastolite is a variety of andalusite with the chemical composition Al2SiO5. It is noted for distinctive cross-shaped black inclusions of graphite. In areas around Georgetown, California, metamorphosed sediments contained andalusite and chiastolite in a graphite rich metasediment. The chiastolite crystals have been pseudomorphically altered by a mixture of muscovite, paragonite and margarite. The calcium rich margarite tends to form along the graphite rich crosses or bands within the chiastolite. Kyanite, whose name derives from the Greek word kuanos sometimes referred to as "kyanos", meaning deep blue, is a typically blue silicate mineral, commonly found inaluminium-rich metamorphic pegmatites and/or sedimentary rock. Kyanite in metamorphic rocks generally indicates pressures higher than 4 kilobars. Kyanite is strongly anisotropic, in that its hardness varies depending on its crystallographic direction. In kyanite, this anisotropism can be considered an identifying characteristic. Uses of kyanite Kyanite is used primarily in refractory and ceramic products including porcelain plumbing fixtures and dishware. It is also used in electronics, electrical insulators and abrasives. Kyanite has been used as a semiprecious gemstone, which may display cat's eye chatoyancy, though this use is limited by its anisotropism and perfect cleavage. Color varieties include recently discovered orange kyanite from Tanzania. The orange color is due to inclusion of small amounts of manganese (Mn3+) in the structure. Kyanite is one of the index minerals that are used to estimate the temperature, depth, and pressure at which a rock undergoes metamorphism. Notes for identification Kyanite's elongated, columnar crystals are usually a good first indication of the mineral, as well as its color (when the specimen is blue). Associated minerals are useful as well, especially the presence of the polymorphs of staurolite, which occur frequently with kyanite. However, the most useful characteristic in identifying kyanite is its anisotropism. If one suspects a specimen to be kyanite, verifying that it has two distinctly different hardness on perpendicular axes is a key to identification; it has a hardness of 5.5 parallel to {001} and 7 parallel to {100}

4 The GILC opal committee urges the gemological community raise awareness Hong Kong, Dec 27, 2012 The Gemstone Industry & Laboratory Conference (GILC) formed an Opal Committee task force at their general meeting in Tucson Feb Its purpose was to find useable nomenclature as could be applied to the newer hydrophane opals currently on the market. The GILC has determined that disclosure regarding this variety of opal coming from the Wollo district of Ethiopia be as follows: Special Care Required: Hydrophane generally indicates a material that is absorbent when immersed in liquid. Keep away from cleaning agents, perfumes, oils and any liquids as they can be absorbed and may alter color and/or appearance. Avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes. Avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners; clean with a soft cloth. The GILC feels this is a concise and workable suggestion for the industry. Further, the GILC has made request that the gemological community raise the awareness and more clearly define the parameters of hydrophane tolerances. The GILC suggest laboratories give this consideration for research. About the GILC For more than two decades, GILC has been a platform for industry stakeholders to address and discuss important issues related to nomenclature, consumer confidence, terminology as well as the better involvement of Certification and research laboratories. GILC is an invitation-only event. ABOUT THE ICA: The International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA), a non-profit organization, is the only worldwide body specifically created to benefit the global colored gemstone industry. ICA was founded in 1984 and is now comprised of almost 700 gemstone dealers, cutters, miners and retailors from 47 countries who are devoted to advancing and promoting the knowledge and appreciation of colored gemstones and jewelry. ### 4

Standard gemological testing gave an RI of and a hydrostatic SG of 3.60, confirming the stone was a spinel. The red portion fluoresced a medium red in long-wave ultraviolet light and was inert in short-wave UV, whereas the blue region was inert in both long- and short-wave. Microscopic examination of the inclusions revealed small octahedral crystals and growth tubes. Investigation of the photoluminescence using Raman spectroscopy at liquid-nitrogen temperature indicated that the stone had not been heated to alter its color. Because of the unusual color zoning, we took advantage of the opportunity to collect the UV-visible spectrum on both the blue and red areas of the stone. As expected, the blue area exhibited a prominent feature at 458 nm and a broad absorption in the nm region, caused by the presence of iron. The red area had strong absorption bands at 387 and 540 nm, indicating chromium. While spinels are routinely submitted to the Bangkok laboratory for identification, a search of our databases found this was the first bicolored spinel. Photo by Nuttapol Kitdee. GIA, Bangkok 6

We wish to appeal to all, especially those in the jewellery industry. [ We note that unlike other states there are no jewellers active in the SA Division ] YOUR ASSOCIATION NEEDS YOU!!! If you are at all concerned about what will be taught to future gemmology students we suggest an active participation should be considered. Under the umbrella of Gem-Ed there are significant changes proposed to the courses and the Board of Studies and Examinations,these are anticipated to commence from THE FUTURE OF THE SA DIVISION OF THE GAA IS IN YOUR HANDS Thanking you.
