Hi Doug, You know fluorescence is not my strong point but I thought this might be a good point to pipe up about fluorescent color standardization. Remember Ron Pellar? His main employement these days is Color Scientist and he has been asked to assist on the technical color end of…

Rock Clubs On-Line
Message #172099
Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying to your request for more info on Felix Fluorite Mine. I have the flu and am just getting to the point where I feel sociable. This locality has had that name as long as I can remember. I doubt that it was every…
Hi, Called the Forest Servive today. They have no intention of opening the Pacoima Canyon Road and are surprised anyone thought they would. Bill
Hi, Sorry, yes, I mean Darwin area but this is only a suggestion. I am always open to other posibilities. Bill
Hi, Glad to read your reply. I get a lot of the same responses in my society such as "E-mail? Is that some sort of courier service? The majority (I think) of our members still do not have computers. BUT, one member got a computer because of e-mail – -…
#Rock Clubs On-Line
Message #168847
Hi to All – I was wondering. Has anybody considered or started a directory of rock/mineral/fossil/etc clubs with e-mail addresses? I have seen a lot of activity for the Fluorescent Mineral Society in this forum by Rod Burroughs and Doug Mitchell. I am sure there must be other clubs represented.…

Message #168846
Hi- I did not get to your meeting at Tucson. Too much work! It used to be fun when it was Tucson week but the same is not true for Tucson MONTH. What I wanted to propose was a joint Fluorescent Mineral Society and Mineralogical Society of Southern California field…

This is a tentative report on activity at Tucson Show. At this time things are just starting to happen. I am at the Executive Inn which "officially" opens Friday, 2/3, but over half of the dealers have checked in. Probably 20 dealers, mainly Europeans, Indians and Brazilians, are already open.…

Hi, I've read the earlier replies and there is good advice there. But everyone has their own opinion and that includes me. One extension of the "you can not possibly go home without" is "am I going to feel bad if I find a better or cheaper one later?" This…
Hello, Shattuckite was named for the Shattuck shaft or mine in Bisbee, Arizona. One reference I have says it was owned by the Shattuck Arizona Mining Company. As to why or how Shattuck fits in I do not know or have in my library. If you want I have access…
Doug– Yes, you got it right. His name is Bob Housley, another MSSC member. He really likes the Santa Monica Moutains (not Agoura Hills). He wrote and article on the ferrierite from there, if you want I will forward it. If you are interested in other localities, another MSSC member…
