Is it Bornite or Chalcopyrite?

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Susan Landa

We have been selling “Peacock Ore” at The Fossil Cartel since day one. It’s a very colorful, attractive yet inexpensive stone. When we first bought it, the mineral name for it was Bornite. Over the years, vendors started calling it Chalcopyrite. I was confused! What do we call it? Which one is it?
This September, I was at the Denver Gem & Mineral show when an old colleague finally gave me the low down:
It starts out as chalcopyrite, but an acidic chemical solution oxidizes the chalcopyrite and turns it into bornite! I had always been aware that it is a treated rock, but I had no idea that it changed from one rock into another! It got even more interesting:
Chalcopyrite contains several metal elements. The more precious metal elements in the stone (gold, platinum, silver, etc.,) the more colorful the stone turns out. Each color represents a different metal element. Also, the more metal elements, the longer the stone will retain its color! These are all the various metal elements chalcopyrite contains: cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn) and Tin (Sn) substitutr for Copper (Cu) and Iron (Fe). Selenium (Se), Iron (Fe) and Arsenic (As) substitute for sulfur (S), and trace amounts of Silver (Ag), Gold (Au), Platinum (Pt), Palladium (Pd), Lead (Pb), Vanadium (V), Chromium (Cr), Indium (In), Aluminum (Al) and Antimony (Sb). Wow! That’s a lot of metal elements in one stone!
The healing energies of bornite provide feelings of joy in the moment, with ‘everything is as it should be’, and allows one to separate the positive from the negative. The properties of chalcopyrite enable the bearer to access wisdom from ancient cultures, remove blockages, treat disorders of the lungs and reduce inflammation.
At the same show, I had a very bizarre experience when I purchased the new batch of bornite! There are several vendors that sell bornite and I found one I had purchased other things from in the past. They were one vendor out of hundreds upon hundreds at the show. I picked out three boxes and took a few moments deciding on the last box. It was a box of very large and pretty bornite pieces. I had never seen such large pieces before. Finally I decided to purchase the box (I’m glad I did – they’re very cool!). The vendor began to write up my invoice. She looked down at the last box, looked back up at me, straight in the eyes and said, “You’re not going to believe this!” “What?!” I said. “Your store’s name is already written on the box!!!” “What? How is that possible?” She was dumbfounded, too. The only explanation she could come up with was that a man from the store called them last January to order the box. They brought it to the Tucson show, but the man never came to pick it up. The only man it could have been would have been my husband and he doesn’t place orders, so I knew that couldn’t be it.
The Universe works in mysterious ways. There might have been a rational explanation, like when we were at the last Tucson show purchasing from them, they switched boxes for something we had purchased after writing our name on the box. Even with a rational explanation, the fact that I picked out that one box out of all the millions of possibilities goes to show you: everything is as it should be — which is the lesson in bornite.

Airport Security and Rocks

Posted on October 24, 2011 by Susan Landa

When you do something a lot, you often take those things for granted. I’ve been in this business for over 22 years. When I go through security at the airport, I come to expect the scanners to question what’s in my bag. However, it’s a different story when you’re not used to it. Here’s a little story by a customer who had one such experience:

Several years ago I bought a fossil cave bear claw (1.8 million years old) at The Fossil Cartel. When I packed to return to New York I decided that it would be safer wrapped in bubble wrap in my backpack than in my suitcase. Accordingly, I wrapped it up, put it in the backpack and then promptly forgot about it. Going through security I took my backpack off, placed it on the conveyer belt and then walked through the metal detector gate. All of a sudden I noticed the man looking at the security X-ray screen waving frantically to his superior. When the superior arrived, the man at the screen started pointing at it with a look that was both concerned and puzzled. The superior stared and then he waved at other security guards in the area to come over and look. As the crowd of security personnel staring at the screen became larger and larger, the superior looked up at me and smiled. While I had seen the commotion, I had not realized until that point that it had anything to do with me. The smile told me everything. When I walked over, he asked what it was. I explained what it was and where I bought it. He seemed genuinely curious about the claw and thought that the whole situation was hilarious. The security guard at the screen was amply relieved.

Thank you J.B. from New York!

Petrified Wood: Beginnings

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Susan Landa

In my last blog entry, I was going to write about fulgerites to compliment the amethyst entry about connecting to Spirit. I later realized I had already written about fulgerites in 2009: http://www.fossilcartel.com/blog/2009/06/struck-by-lightening-fulgerites/.
I love the Crystal Ally Cards so much I decided to continue blogging about them in this series. This time I picked ‘Petrified Wood’ as a key to an issue I’ve been having.
Trees are such amazing beings. Many have been around for a long, long, long time. They seem to embody a special, silent wisdom. If you’ve ever been in an ancient forest, I think you know what I mean. To have wood fossilize and turn into stone takes this ancient wisdom even further.
Trees are all about the cycle of life and especially beginnings. From tiny saplings they mature into trees giving protection and habitat to many other beings. Eventually they pass, only to be reborn again from their seeds, using their own decomposing matter as fertilizer. The knowledge and experience of this process is forever embodied in petrified wood.
We too have “roots” or beginnings. Our DNA is programmed with the wisdom and experiences of our ancestors, just as petrified wood is programmed. Petrified wood allows us to access that information so we can draw strength and knowledge from our lineage. “Delving into these ancient cellular memories allows us to move forward as well. We are the forefront of a new civilization on Earth. By utilizing the memories of our peoples, we can integrate the lessons that they learned and avoid the mistakes that were made in the past”.
I just now did a meditation with a piece of petrified wood. I’ve been getting these intense muscle spasms in my abdominal region from stress. I wanted to know where they were coming from. I’ve noticed when I have a physical ailment (luckily rare in my life), they go away more readily if I know their root connection. It’s the mind, body, spirit method of healing. In my meditation, I got the image of a young woman in the late 1800’s whose organs were being squished, or “stressed” by a tight corset! Wow! I’m going to have to ponder that one for a while.
I would love to hear your experiences with petrified wood and accessing ancient wisdom. Please write and let us know if you’ve had any epiphanies or messages from the past.

Maximizing Stone’s Healing Properties

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Susan Landa

People often come into the store asking for stone remedies for particular ailments. They’ve heard or read somewhere that stones can help with various problems or issues. Then they inevitably ask: “So what do I do with them?”
Generally, stones placed in a room will emit certain frequencies that will be of benefit to those in the room. Stones placed strategically in a room according to the laws of feng shui will have an even greater benefit.
Having the stone on your body is great for the subtle energies of stones to interact with your etheric body. Wearing them as jewelry, keeping them in your pocket, or literally lying down and placing them on your body can produce effective results in a subtle manner. It’s like homeopathy, using the smallest amount of medicine to produce profound results.
The way to get the most out of stones’ healing properties is to meditate with them. True wellness requires a balance of mind, body and spirit. Aside from addressing physical symptoms, it would be prudent to investigate what’s going on in our “spirit/mind” world in order to heal ourselves and/or maintain health. Meditation provides the benefit of relaxation, which is healing in and of itself, and is a channel or a means to connect with Spirit, to seek healing in that dimension. When I say meditate, I don’t mean any particular method of meditation. I simply mean this, at minimum: hold the stone in your left hand, sit in a quiet place, close your eyes and focus on your breath, working to clear your mind for those few minutes. Then when you’ve entered what feels like the “zone,” ask for guidance, clues, wisdoms, blessings, etc. It’s having a dialogue with Spirit — as you do when you use a divinatory tool such as tarot or I Ching. Don’t be disappointed if you feel like there’s no immediate response. It won’t necessarily come right then. But it will come. Spirit has heard your request and will answer. It might come in the form of a friend’s comment or something you read in a magazine. As long as you put it out there what you’re asking for, you will receive.
For healing needed in specific body locations, a super powerful method would be to meditate with the stones on the affected body parts.
Sitting quietly with a stone while gazing at it and feeling it is also a good way to transfer the stone’s healing properties.
I hope this has been helpful. Please write and let us know what’s worked for you or what other methods I’m missing.

Conversation with Spirit: Amethyst

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Susan Landa

I pulled a card from the Crystal Ally Card deck the other day and got amethyst. I love fooling around with different divinatory tools. This particular one is based on the crystal and mineral kingdom. Each card represents a different crystal ally. I love this deck. It really helps me learn about the healing properties of stones on a deep level because I’m finding meaning from it for myself in the context of the “reading” and how it applies to my life.
The card I picked was Amethyst: very conducive for reconnecting, or strengthening your connection with Spirit. And that is exactly why we use divinatory tools to begin with! It’s so easy to get caught up in our heads and the mundane and lose that connection. Have you noticed how things never seem to go as smoothly when that happens? When one is in alignment with channels open, and trusting the energy coming through, flow happens. When you’re in the flow, you are manifesting and reaching your higher purpose.
Interesting reminder the card gave me: In order for Spirit to hear you, pay attention to you and respond, you have to “speak” to Spirit:
“When a friend does not listen to you, you will stop speaking of important things to that person, assuming they do not value what you have to say. It is the same on a universal level. If you do not value the guidance that you receive from divine sources, those sources will cease to communicate with you. You can show your willingness to grow by acting upon the inner guidance that you receive through your Divine connection.”
Divinatory tools are a great way to reconnect and strengthen your relationship with the Divine. Try a set of Crystal Ally Cards and learn who your crystal friends are!
Coming next, “Fulgerite! How to charge your prayers and conversation with Spirit.”

How May We Serve You Better?

Posted on October 7, 2010 by Susan Landa

Being a business owner, I’m always looking for ways to improve.  Two years ago, when I joined Univera, a nutraceutical company, I learned about a practice called “Servant Leadership.”   I had never heard of it before. I got the gist and it drew me into Univera even more. What a cool concept, I thought!  I want to know more.

I did a little research and this is where it all started:  http://greenleaf.org/whatissl/index.html

The phrase “Servant Leadership” was coined by Robert K. Greenleaf in The Servant as Leader, an essay that he first published in 1970. In that essay, he said:

“The servant-leader is servant first… It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions…The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types. Between them there are shadings and blends that are part of the infinite variety of human nature.“

“The difference manifests itself in the care taken by the servant-first to make sure that other people’s highest priority needs are being served. The best test, and difficult to administer, is:  Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And, what is the effect on the least privileged in society? Will they benefit or at least not be further deprived?“

How may we serve?  Businesses are successful because they fill a need.  Our mission at The Fossil Cartel has always been “To share our love and passion for rocks and fossils in a gracious and fun environment.” We do that, but now I see we do more in terms of acting as servants filling needs.

Some people often come in asking which stones have certain healing properties to deal with specific issues.  We help guide them to find just the right stone.  Some people are looking for that special gift.  We help them find a treasure that will make someone’s day and at times become a family heirloom.  Others want to give presents to their kids that have educational value. Every one of our fossils and minerals comes with an information card. People want to invest their money in things whose value increases over time.  Most stones and fossils have gone up in price over the years. Some people want a rare stone that’s hard to find.  If we can get it for them, we will.  People who live further away and can’t get to the store still want to be able to purchase our jewels.  They can do that through our website — we ship all over the world! People need an interesting place to go and connect with the marvels of Mother Earth without it costing anything.  We welcome “lookers” and don’t charge admission :) . People want a warm friendly smile that adds a positive feeling to their day.  We aspire to do this and more.

Please let us know how we may serve you best.

The Fossil Cartel’s First Video: Emeralds in Brazil!

Posted on October 3, 2010 by Susan Landa

Take a trip with us to the area where emeralds are mined in Brazil! We went there a few years ago and would love to share our experience and some interesting video footage:

One of the best parts of owning a rock store is traveling to find treasures.  There’s usually some kind of crystal, mineral and/or fossil to be found in most every corner of the earth.  A bonus to this travel is that it takes you places you wouldn’t ordinarily go.  Seldom is treasure found in tourist towns.  Instead, we get to go to the heart of a country and really get to know the people and their culture.  This area in Brazil where the emeralds are found is such a place.  We had to take a very long bus ride to get there, but it was so worth it.

Brazil is a huge country.  It is similar to the US in that regions really vary. For this trip, we decided to focus on the Northeast.  I had been to other areas in Brazil before and wanted to go somewhere new.   The state of Bahia is in the middle of the east coast of the country.  Much of this area was developed with African slave labor; like the southern US, there remains a strong African cultural influence.

The name of the town we landed in is Campo Formoso.  The miners and buyers meet in the town plaza twice a week to buy and sell rough emeralds mined in the surrounding mountains.  In a shady green park in the center of town were several sets of concrete picnic tables where these two groups of people would meet.  On one side of the tables were the miners and on the other were the buyers.  The miners would pour out their baggies of rough emeralds in mounds and the buyers would look them over with magnifying glasses and make an offer or not.  This went on for hours upon hours.  It was fascinating and fun to watch.

Here is some video from one such day.

What Symbols Do You See?

Posted on August 17, 2010 by Susan Landa

Life is art. Symbols are all around us. It’s fun to analyze objects and have them be metaphors to help us understand this crazy, wonderful world.

I used to hang out with a psychic man. When the King of Swords card would come up in a tarot reading, he liked to say, “The finest metals are always tempered with tremendous heat”. Meaning, the strongest, finest people have to experience a lot of “heat” in their lives to produce the character that allows them to excel.

I like to use crystals as metaphors for people, too.  They also are often formed under tremendous heat and pressure.  While forming, the “law of attraction” is also at play.  The crystal is formed from solute molecules that attract each other and join together. Most of the time, when there are just a few of the solute molecules, they break apart and cannot form into a crystal.  But when there are enough, and they have achieved their own critical mass, they manifest into treasures we know and love as crystals. With molecules attracting each other, coming together to form beautiful natural objects through some kind of adversity- either heat and pressure or evaporation, some change was involved.  As difficult as it sometimes seems to experience adverse change in our personal lives, it helps if you can remember that even adverse change can be very good.

Another interesting thing about crystals is that they vibrate at certain rates when an electrical current is passed through them. Using the metaphor of being a sword, you can cut through red tape and be decisive.  With crystals, you can be pretty, and vibrate at such a rate you can be used to facilitate timing (such as the movement in quartz watches) and process information (such as silicon wafers in computer chips).  And when a beautiful, vibrating entity has attracted enough “like minds” or solute molecules achieving critical mass, a real gem has been added to our lives.

Crystals display facets reflecting the underlying symmetry of the crystal structure.  Beside the metaphor of crystals and people, the many “facets” of life are like fine gems to me.  This can be applied to all sorts of things: groups of people (social, religious, political, economic, sociological, psychological, etc.), each significant personal experience, nature, progress, mediums of art and expression, the life cycle, etc..  They all reflect a different, beautiful light as in the facets of a crystal or the cuts in a faceted gemstone.

Beads are great symbols, too.  I like to think of my most significant personal experiences as the beads that make up my “life necklace”.  I’m sure you’ve all heard, “Life is a tapestry”.  Weavers and other fiber artists can probably identify with that one. What symbols resonate with you in your life?

Question:  How do crystals form? —Dave

Answer:

Crystals usually form from molten rock as the molten

rock gradually cools.  If the molten rock

cools very rapidly, then either small crystals

form or no crystals form.  An example of this

is when lava is ejected from a volcano.  If

molten rock cools slowly, then large crystals

can form.  This happens usually when the molten

material is very deep in the Earth.  Examples

of these types of crystals are diamonds, emeralds,

rubies, etc.

Crystals can also form when water evaporates.

For example, salt crystals (sodium chloride) form

when salt water evaporates.

The smooth faces of crystals are caused by

a regular internal arrangement of atoms.

-Grant

Each different crystal vibrates at a specific frequency when an electric current is passed through it. The original radios were created using vibrating crystals to create the frequency to transmit signals. As radio technology improved, radio transmitters had several different crystals to allow transmission on different frequencies. Modern radios have large number of different frequencies used by radio stations.

Vibrating crystals can be used for time keeping. A quartz clock uses the vibration of a quartz crystal to measure time. When the crystal has an electric current passed through it, the crystal will vibrate at 60 hertz (60 times per second).

Lars’s Birthday Rockhounding Trip Pt. 2

Posted on July 27, 2010 by Susan Landa

Road to Succor Creek

Succor Creek

After a great experience collecting agate at Graveyard Point, our next stop was Succor Creek. The Succor Creek Recreational Area, where the digging is at, is only about 30 miles or so from Graveyard Point. The road in is dirt and gravel, but well maintained. Any vehicles should be able to make it in. It is a truly beautiful place to visit and camp, even if not rockhounding. Succor Creek has been known by rockhounds for many years. There is fine picture jasper, red and tan jasper, agate, petrified wood, leaf fossils, and thundereggs. The scenery made up for my experience collecting there as I didn’t have much luck. Don’t let my one time visit deter you.  I’m not saying there’s nothing there, I just didn’t find it. Let me explain why.

Succor Creek view from campsiteOne big key to rockhounding is getting used to being skunked every now and then. Sometimes you just don’t find anything, and that’s ok. It makes you appreciate what you find that much more. Upon arriving at Succor Creek we quickly found a great campsite at the upper regions of the area. We had a wonderful view of the valley and Succor Creek itself. We quickly made camp and were off to Site A listed in the Gem Trails of Oregon. We found the road leading back to the area, but ran into something unexpected. There was a questionable camping situation going on back there. A large pull-behind trailer and about a half dozen beat up cars were parked right by there creek. I then noticed a couple pairs of eyes staring at us from behind one of the cars. Needless to say, we were a little creeped out at this point and didn’t stick around for long. After our potential meth lab experience, we decided to check out some washes near by. We didn’t find much. A few pieces of agate and jasper scattered about, but nothing to write home about. It was getting dark and we were getting hungry, so back to our wonderful campsite we went, for hot campfire sandwiches.

Succor Creek campsite

The next morning we spent a couple hours hunting thundereggs at the spot marked on the map. It is conveniently located right by the main campground and the only toilet in the area. There is a large cliff face full of thundereggs. You can see, but can’t reach most of them. There were many nice ones taunting me just out of reach. I opted for picking them up out of the talus at the base of the slope. I filled up about half a bucket and called it quits. I’ve yet to cut them open, but if I find anything nice that’ll be another blog. Our next stop: Rome and its fantastic snakeskin agate.

Rome, OR

As I have mentioned in previous blogs, I’m kind of a crack-head for agates, so needless to say I’ve wanted to dig for snakeskin agates for quite some time. Snakeskin agate gets its name from the crust that surrounds the agate. It’s very porous and cracked, making it look like the skin of a snake. The agate itself is rounded and orb-like. Some people polish their snakeskin, but many look nice just as they are. I still remember the first one I ever bought. I used to run a gas station/rock shop in Olympia, WA. There was a guy who would stop by randomly with a truck bed littered with mostly Oregon minerals. He would sell me stuff super cheap. One day, I noticed a small fist sized piece of snakeskin agate. Now, this guy always had nice stuff at great prices, but he had this fantasy that everything was some sort of fossil. I once bought a nice piece of carnelian off him that he told me was a petrified cuttlefish. This experience was no different. The snakeskin agate sold to me for just a couple dollars was dubbed by him to be a petrified octopus. Yeah…ok…it’s two bucks? Sold.

After acquiring my first piece and many more at shows and shops, I developed a need to go dig my own. What always kept me from doing it for so long is the fact that Rome, Oregon is very far away from everything. It’s located off HWY-95 in very southeastern Oregon, just north of Nevada. The digging location is just a few miles from the highway, but the road is rough and very bumpy. Trevor got his Dodge Caliber back there, but he’s crazy. Make sure you have confidence in your vehicle and some ground clearance. Stay out or get out if there is going to be rain.

Road leading to Rome

We didn’t see any fire rings on the drive in. There was a small trailer with a few people camping, but they were the only people we saw back there. We found a nice flat spot and made a fire ring. I’m not 100% sure if we were supposed to do that. The book says there’s “primitive camping” in the area. I think people just aren’t crazy enough to actually camp back there. Anyways, on the drive in we stopped at Site A in the Gem Trails of Oregon book. We found the “apache tears” reported to be there. They were cool, I guess. I still like the ones from Arizona better. Plus, were the Apache ever in Oregon?

Moving right along the trail we eventually stopped at Site B in the book and immediately found the green opal mentioned. Now, before you go getting all excited about opal, don’t. It’s just green opaque potch. I’m sure somebody could make something out of it, but why? I still grabbed a couple choice pieces for collecting sake. I was hungry for snakeskin. I decided to take a long walk to get an idea about the locality. The terrain is very moonscape-like, but with sagebrush. It wasn’t long before I found my first piece of beautiful snakeskin agate. I was so happy. I may have clicked my heels together. I knew then I was in the right area. In the right spots, the agate is just sitting there waiting for you to pick it up. When we would find spots with a high concentration of agate we would spend some time picking into the soil around.  Trevor was having a lot of luck with this method. He’d just stick his pick in the ground and would immediately pop out a beauty. It worked for me a few times, but I was having better luck covering a lot of ground. Make sure while you’re collecting to have some sort of land marker you pay attention to. You’re wandering around the high desert with your eyes focused on the ground. I did and can see people getting lost out there.

Rome campsiteWe collected agate all day and part of the next. I personally filled a five gallon bucket full of great agates. Many I’m keeping them just the way they are and some I’m getting ready to tumble. I found one that looks like a snake from one angle and a duckling from another. Trevor filled most of a bucket too. If you cover a lot of ground and do some digging, you should be able to find lots of mineralogical treasure too. I can’t wait to go back again. Next stop: McDermitt.

McDermitt

McDermitt, the town, is in Nevada. The famous McDermitt digging locality is in Oregon. It gets confusing sometimes. Either which way, it’s a long drive to get there. Having spent most of the day collecting snakeskin agate in Rome, we didn’t get to McDermitt until late in the afternoon. It was easy to find and the main road isn’t too bad. It is dirt and gravel of course, but manageable. There’s a very nice campsite available too. The area is well known for its petrified wood, but also has very nice agate, jasper, banded rhyolite, petrified bog, and thundereggs. I was there to find the petrified bog known as Gary Green. Unfortunately I forgot to bring the map that has the spot marked where it is. Doh! I must have driven around for hours trying to find it. I found all the sites listed in the Gem Trails of Oregon map, but could not for the life of me find the Gary Green. I found wood, agate, green/yellow opal, and checked out the banded rhyolite, but decided to not lug any back to the truck. I was so set on finding the bog, it was all I could think about. It started getting dark, so we headed back to the camp spot. Upon arriving it started to rain. I was a little miffed about not finding the bog, and didn’t want to sleep in the rain, so we decided to camp further north, where it wasn’t raining. Not having spent much time there we didn’t find a whole lot. I know it’s there; I just need more time and the right maps. McDermitt, I shall return. Gary Green, I will find you.
