All members are encouraged to participate, by either bringing in items or material to sell or coming to shop among all the goodies supplied by our members. No Field Trip Schedule The Field trip chairman has decided not to publish a field trip schedule because of restraints and guidelines the U.S. Forest Service has when an organized group has posted or published an event. We will curtail this publication of annual field trips until further research has been done pertaining to our recreational use on Forest Service governed lands needing a permit to rock hound. To get a hard copy of this year's annual scheduled Field Trip, you need to come to our monthly meeting and contact our Field Trip Chairman David Prado. Because of this, we will also not publish other clubs field trips and the do not encourage participation in other club field trips as a way of being fair to other clubs.
3 PAGE 3 KITSAP MINERAL AND GEM SOCIETY GENERAL MEETING 13 JANUARY 2012 Meeting was called to order at 7:00 by president Leslie Wing. First order was the pledge of allegiance led by the juniors. Leslie calls for volunteers for open committees. Open positions were kitchen supervisor, junior leader, raffle ticket person and welcome. Welcome is filled. Doug calls for back-up positions. Is this putting the cart before the horse? Show -and-tell excepted by Tony Schackmann, with Dean Norman doing back-up. Now that is a popular position. Woody volunteers to continue running the library. Leslie calls for mentors. The badge -box was passed and collected several fines. Now time for show-and-tell, led by Tony Schackmann, Jack Eads raided his back yard for a rock-box that included thunder eggs. Leslie Wing had two nice wire wraps; one varisite and one blue agate type rock. Pat Jolly brought a large collection of enhydros, some from Mexico, China and Nambia, one as large as your hand, with gas bubbles floating in a liquid,most likely water from 40,000 years ago. Vintage water. Faceted sun stones and tourmaline brought by Randy Eggert. Dean Norman had some specimens from the East Eagle River, Oregon; found while elk hunting. Identified as sedimentary jasper- like polished river rock. Nice looking stuff. Our new field-trip chairman will be David Prado. Dean and Woody can help him. Jack Eads leads discussion of club sponsorship of scholarships, Last year,of three, one was left hanging when the person could not be found. It will be rolled over for our next time. Silent auction and raffle end the meeting. Proceeds go in general fund. gem shows or workshops. Also to communicate to any and all vendors who would be willing to publicize at their facility. This year show will be held on the 23rd and 24th of November for everyone to take note and keep that date in mind to setting up a showcase and assist as much as possible for great success. Respectfully submitted Robert (Will) Willis Secretary.
4 KMGS Christmas Party 2012 As Wilma Eads played Christmas carols on piano, the kitchen crew organized the food on a fifty foot table. Nathan Schackmann led off with announcements followed by prayers for the PAGE 4 families of the Connecticut tragedy. Now time for food. People were set at round tables decorated in Christmas spirit and designated with rock or mineral to determine (by drawing) what table will line up for food first, second and so forth. A good system, especially if you are hungry and lucky. A large assortment of goodies featuring Turkey, Ham, potatoes and gravy with stuffing and home-made cranberry sauce. Also many breads and deserts. Coffee and punch, mixed by Jim McClure, rounded out the more than adequate spread. Wonderful. At every table were puzzles; one of cartoon like pictures and one of codes. I passed on these but will try them next time. Leslie Wing led the group in Christmas carols with Wilma playing piano behind. Very nice. Now at last, time for "slabbingo". Prizes were for table decorations and then wrapped rock slabs. I saw people playing as many as six bingo cards at once. Serious bingo. Oh I nearly forgot; Somewhere in this celebration came the swearing in of our new officers. Look for photographs coming soon; maybe. Gordon Eslava was busy with his camera. A good time was had by all. Robert Will Willis

6 Jewelry Bench Tips of the Month PAGE 6 SANDING/POLISHING IN TIGHT PLACES Often you'll need to sand or polish an area that's impossible to reach with even a small wheel on a flexshaft. Other times it might be the bottom of a pocket or inside bottom corner of a box that needs to be finished. One trick for these nit-picky jobs may be left over from your last Chinese dinner - a chopstick. I've found quite a few uses for these in the shop. Prepare the tip by simply sawing it off at a 45 degree angle. Then apply whatever abrasive grit you will need for the job or hold a strip of sandpaper around the end. Loose grit can be held onto the tip with a bit of vaseline or oil. Tripoli or rouge can be just rubbed onto the end of the chopstick. ADJUSTABLE CHUCK FOR DREMELS Many of us have a Dremel motor tool to use at home or when out to a class or workshop. The one thing that makes this tool much more productive is the addition of one inexpensive option, an adjustable chuck. The basic motor tool as sold typically comes with a collet chuck. This means you have to use a wrench to change every tool bit, you have to switch collets to use different shaft sizes (3/32 or 1/8 inch bits), and you can't use ordinary drills at all - only the special ones that have a 3/32 shaft. A simple and inexpensive ($10) adjustable chuck solves all of this. It's available in most large local hardware stores or model making outlets. Tightening the chuck is done easily by hand to any size shaft. No key is required. AVOIDING SOLDER LINES After finishing a soldered joint on say a bezel, have you ever seen it reappear when you solder the bezel to a base plate? What's happening is that every time you heat a soldered piece to the temperature that solder flows, the liquid solder dissolves a little bit more into the base metal. This leaves a small furrow where the solder had been sanded off flush at the joint. To get rid of the furrow, you have to re-sand the joint area down to the bottom of the furrow. To avoid this when I have another soldering operation to follow, I try to leave a little extra solder on my joints. For instance, when trimming off excess base plate from around a bezel, I leave a paper thickness of excess plate material whenever possible until I'm done with all soldering. Of course, this isn't always possible as when a soldering operation will prevent you from gaining access to an area for final sanding and polishing. In that case I coat the finished solder joint with ochre to prevent a furrow. ====================== More BenchTips by Brad Smith can be found at facebook.com/benchtips or groups.yahoo.com/group/benchtips/
7 PAGE 7 February Birthstone: Amethyst/Onyx-Aquarius (January 21 - February 19) Aquarians are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical. Many are strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive, so that the Age of Aquarius, which is about to begin, is much anticipated by psychic circles as an age in which mankind will experience a great spiritual awakening. The Aquarian philosophical and spiritual bent may be dangerous in that it can drive the subjects into an ivory-tower existence where they meditate on abstractions that bear little relevance to life. On the other hand it can help the many who have scientific leanings to combine these with the Aquarian yearning for the universal recognition of the brotherhood of man, and to embark on scientific research to fulfill their philanthropic ideals of benefiting mankind. When some cause or work of this nature inspires them, they are capable of such devotion to it that they may drive themselves to the point of exhaustion and even risk injuring their health. Both types need to retire from the world at times and to become temporary loners. They appreciate opportunities for meditation or, if they are religious, of retreats. Even in company they are fiercely independent, refusing to follow the crowd. They dislike interference by others, however helpfully intended, and will accept it only on their own terms. Normally they have good taste in drama, music and art, and are also gifted in the arts, especially drama. Via astrology-online.com The gemstone Amethyst is the Birthstone for February. It is also the Zodiac stone for the constellation of Pisces. Amethyst is associated with spirituality, wisdom, sobriety, and security. Amethyst is the purple variety of the mineral quartz and is a popular gemstone. Although it must always be purple to be amethyst, it can and does have a wide range of purple shades. Its color is unparalleled, and even other, more expensive purple gemstones are often compared to its color and beauty. If it were not for its widespread availability, amethyst would be very expensive. Amethyst can occur as long prismatic crystals that have a six sided pyramid at either end or can form as druzes that are crystalline crusts that only show the pointed terminations. As a mineral specimen, amethyst is popular for its color and nice crystal shapes that produce a handsome, purple, sparkling cluster. Onyx is a black or white variety of chalcedony (cryptocrystalline quartz), usually with alternating bands. It is a fine-grained quartz whose crystals are too small to see. Onyx is popular as a carving stone, since clever use of alternating bands of black and white can create a highly appealing carving. Onyx is the traditional birthstone for February. It is associated with relaxation and comfort. Onyx is only one of several chalcedony (cryptocrystalline quartz) varieties. The primary varieties are as follows: Agate is a banded variety (sometimes with translucent bands) Bloodstone is green with red speckles Carnelian is yellow to orange Chrysoprase is green, Flint is generally black with a fibrous microscopic structure Jasper is any colorful agate, Sard is yellow to brown Sardonyx is banded, alternating sard and (usually white) onyx Via Firemountaingems.com
8 Refreshment Rotation for 2013 PAGE 8 We rely on our club members to provide snacks for our General Meetings. Here is our schedule for 2013: If the first letter of your last name begins with a J, K or an L, you will be responsible for bringing refreshments for the February meeting. February J, K and L March M and N April C, G, U, V and W May H, I, X, Y and Z June E and F July and August No Meetings KMGS Picnic /Potluck in July September B October S and T November O, P, Q and R and anyone that was inadvertently missed earlier in the year December Christmas Potluck We encourage finger food that can be placed on a napkin.

Remember that when it is your month to bring refreshments, you need to plan to help with set-up and clean-up in the kitchen for that meeting. - Kathy Reimers Tumbled material needed for the November Show! Our club uses tumbled stones to entice new interest in our club. At the fair we give out hundreds and hundreds of stones to kids under 14. This always brings interest from the kids and parents alike. More material is needed for the November show. Last year we bought 400 lbs of tumbled rocks for the show, at a cost of $2 per pound, this could easily be supplied by club members. Help out this year and donate tumble material. We will be collecting it at every meeting and will keep the club informed of how much we will need.
