John McCabe is the fea-
ture speaker during our
February presentation and
will discuss the wonders of
Morro Rock. Here’s an ex-
cerpt on the geological
feature from Wikipedia:
The 581-foot Morro
Rock is one of 13 volcanic
plugs (remnant necks of
extinct volcanoes), lava
domes, and sheet-like in-
trusions between Morro
Bay on the north and Islay
Hill on the south, all in
San Luis Obispo County.
It’s composed mostly of
dacite, an igneous, volcanic
rock, and partially of petri-
fied bird feces, which have
compacted into the plug
over the years.
The Salinan and Chu-
mash tribes consider Morro
Rock to be a sacred site.
The Salinan name for Mor-
ro Rock is Le'samo and the
Chumash name is Lisamu.

people to climb Morro Rock

FEBRUARY
Amethyst, a purple quartz,
is a beautiful blend of violet
and red that can be found
around the globe. It often
occurs in geodes or in the
cavities of granitic rocks.
The name comes from the
Ancient Greek, derived from
the word “methustos,”
which means “intoxicated.”
Ancient wearers believed
the gemstone could protect
them from drunkenness.
While amethyst is most
commonly recognized to be
a purple color, the gem-
stone can actually range
from a light pinkish violet to
a deep purple that can read
more blue or red, depend-
ing on the light. Amethyst
gets its color from irradia-
tion, iron impurities and the
presence of trace elements.
Its hardness (a 7 on the
Mohs scale) is the same as
other quartz, which makes
it a durable and lasting op-
tion for jewelry.

Words from the Co-President
Happy Presidents Day
It’s nice to be recognized as your Co-President, but you are who we
serve and I hope you are happy with my first month on the job!
It was great to spend a beautiful morning at San Simeon State Beach
with 21 Rockhounds. We need to go more often, it was fun.
Hopefully, we will be planning another adventure soon.
Come to the next General Meeting to hear more.
Right now, I am thinking about our 27th Annual Rock & Gem Show
scheduled for April 21st - 22nd. Not too far off. We will be needing
many volunteers to help this show run smoothly. It doesn’t have to be
an all-day thing. The Show is our largest fundraiser so in order to
stay ahead, we need to be creative. Think of ways you can share
your talents, gifts and knowledge. It is rewarding and
people like to see your work.
You won’t want to miss our VP Education Speaker, John McCabe, talk
about the Morros during our February General Meeting. Also, Kathy Clarke
and her grandson, Colby, will teach the Junior Rockhounds about
rock balancing.

a clue – the rocks were originally very
hot! But then they cooled down slowly
into a solid rock made up of different
bits stuck together called crystals. They
are often very beautiful and sparkle in
the sunlight.
are formed by solidification of cooled
magma (molten rock) either below
(plutonic) or above (volcanic) the sur-
face of the earth.
The magma consists of partial melt-
ing of pre-existing rock and can be
caused by one or a combination of; an
increase in temperature, pressure
changes, change in composition.
An example of an igneous rock is
granite. The word igneous comes from

San Simeon Creek Field Trip
January 21, 2018
About 20 members participated in this field trip and
were blessed with wonderful weather for a peaceful
morning by the beach. Trip leader Kim Noyes is pic-
tured left talking to Rockhounds about the speci-
men they found. Junior Rockhound Joe was happy
with his beach glass collection. And Doren hit the
jackpot with the cool rock pictured below (which he
gave to Tina Clark) is a form of brecciated jas-
per. According to the “Rock Doctor” Wayne Mills,
brecciated jasper is only found in areas where fault
action has fractured previously formed jasper, and
hydrothermal quartz (silica dissolved in hot water
from the interior of the earth) has permeated and
re-cemented the fractured material. In this case,
the jasper was layered and fractured and re-
cemented, then fractured
again and re-cemented - note
the offset of the large quartz
layers, much like some fea-
tures along the San Andreas
Fault!

THE FIVE "FINE" JASPERS
By Barbara Bilyeu
There are five classic jaspers that are
known in the lapidary world as the "fine
jaspers", primarily because they are very
fine-grained, totally beautiful, and almost
magical to work with, taking an exquisite
polish. They may feature overlapping
orbs, and unusual colors and patterns.
They include Bruneau Jasper, Imperial
Jasper, Morrisonite, Blue Mountain Jasper,
and Willow Creek Jasper.
Bruneau Jasper comes from the rugged
Bruneau Canyon in Idaho, and is found in
the center of thunderegg nodules embed-
ded in the cliffs. Most often, the jasper
centers are cobbled free of their matrix so
only the jasper is hauled out of the can-
yon, reducing the weight. You can see a
YouTube video on two of the early miners
of Bruneau Jasper by searching for
"Bruneau Jasper Miners" on Google. This
classic jasper comes in colors of brown,
cream, caramel and other luscious
shades!
Imperial Jasper comes from the side of
a canyon near San Cristobal in Mexico. It
forms in seams or nodules, and can also
show orbs. A more recent discovery of
what is called Royal Imperial Jasper
comes in flattened nodules with chalky
white coatings. It is currently the largest,
finest deposit of jasper with egg pattern-
ing in the world. Imperial and Royal Im-
perial jasper come in shades of green and
pink.
Morrisonite is named for James Morrison
and the Morrison Ranch in eastern Ore-
gon. Discovered in the late 1940's, Morri-
Bruneau Jasper

sonite is not an abundant material, which
is unfortunate as it has earned the title
"King of the Jaspers" because of its beau-
ty. Morrisonite displays a wide range of
colors and wild patterns, including orbs.
You can see a good representation of this
material on Internet sites.
The Blue Mountain Jasper mine is lo-
cated near the Oregon-Nevada border
west of McDermitt. It was formerly owned
and worked by legendary miner Leonard
Kopcinsky who passed away a few years
ago, and is now mined by Dale Huett.
Formed in nodules, this beautiful orbed
jasper comes in shades of blue, green and
gold and is mined by blasting.
Willow Creek Jasper is found in Idaho,
north of the town of Eagle. The mine is
owned and operated by Larry Ridley (who
makes amazing blackberry pies!). This
high-class jasper is also found in the cen-
ter of thundereggs, most often pretty big
ones. You can see a video of Larry's op-
eration which includes heavy-equipment
drilling to break open the thundereggs, on
YouTube - search for "Willow Creek Jasper
Mining". A picture of him is below. Mostly
in pastel colors, Willow Creek jasper dis-
plays a wide variety of patterns.

for their biannual solstice ceremonies is
disputed by the Chumash tribe, which
claims that Morro Rock is Chumash, not
Salinan, territory. The Chumash believe
the rock is so sacred that it should never
be climbed. It is illegal for the general
public to climb it.
Morro Rock was probably seen by
Spanish maritime explorers as early as
1542 under Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, but
its current name was given during the
first European land exploration of Alta
California. The Spanish Portolá expedition
came down Los Osos Valley and camped
near today's Morro Bay on September 8,
1769.
Several types of birds nest on Morro
Rock, including three cormorant species
and two gull species. It presently serves
as a reserve for peregrine falcons, which
are locally endangered and cause most of
the laws that prohibit intervention with
avian life. Sea lions and sea otters can be
seen regularly in the water around the
rock.
On land few flora can survive the
harsh, dry environment on the rock, but
in the surrounding bay, kelp, sea grass,
kelp forest plants, and tide pool plants
can survive, and a few common grasses,
mosses, lichens and weeds from the
mainland take root on the rock itself.
The rock, which was quarried on and
off from 1889-1969, provided material for
the breakwater of Morro Bay and the im-
provements at Port San Luis Harbor. In
1966, a state law was adopted that trans-
ferred title to the State of California. In
February 1968, the SLO County Historical
Society and the City of Morro Bay suc-
ceeded in having Morro Rock declared
California Historical Landmark number
821.

Roll call: Amy Phillips, Chris Driesbach,
John McCabe, Rachael Denny, Tina Clark,
Doren Strane, Lisa King, Barbara Bilyeu,
Galen Moyer, David Nelson, Don Hunting-
ton, Don Pierce and Tom Wylie. Mary
Caparone is on vacation, so Doren Strane
presided over the meeting.
Minutes: Tina Clark moved to approve
the minutes of the December business
meeting, Galen Moyer seconded the mo-
tion, and the minutes were approved by
the Board.
Correspondence: The Club received fly-
ers for the Santa Barbara Gem Fair, the
Solano County Gem Show, and the Valle-
jo Gem Mineral and Jewelry Show, as
well as a Cuesta College magazine.
Treasurer's Report: In December, the
Club took in $240 at the installation din-
ner, and the CD made about $321 in in-
terest this year. The bills have been
paid, and the checks have cleared.
Programs: Amy Phillips reported that
the January general meeting will be the
Club's annual Show and Tell. John McCa-
be will talk about the Morros in February
and Barbara Bilyeu and “the two Dons”
will do a program on setting up exhibit
cases for the Rock Show in March.
Communications:
Chris Driesbach reported that the club's
website looks good, but it still needs a
few things-he plans to include a descrip-
tion of the most recent field trip, and
there is no show flyer yet. John McCabe
has the scholarship letters and applica-
tions ready to send to the schools.
Tina Clark reported that Wayne Mills had
given her the officer change form to fill
out for the CFMS. The CFMS has a web-
site contest, and the Club's website will be
entered.
Membership: Galen Moyer presented the
membership application of Heidi McLen-
ithan and her son, and their memberships
were approved by the Board.
Library: Barbara Bilyeu reported that
there will be no library at this month's
general meeting, as she will be out of
town.
Rock show: Tina Clark reported that re-
search into acquiring a chip reader is still
ongoing, as are efforts to find a food ven-
dor. It has been suggested that we have
demonstrations of wire wrapping, facet-
ing, gold panning and cabbing. It is offi-
cially confirmed that the show will take
place at the Fairgrounds, and no deposit is
required at this time. Kim Noyes has vol-
unteered to send out the contracts to the
vendors, and Tina will check later in the
month, and see how things are going with
that.
The remainder of the meeting was spent
in discussing the Club's budget, which will
be voted on next month. The meeting ad-
journed at 9:05 P.M.
