hi everyone

How was the chat last week?

Since now there is some data to look at, I was thinking of tackling this color-center topic beginning this Sunday. However I'll probably wind my way slowly toward the topic, as I always do. We'll probably start talking a bit about color, color absorption, and color perception as a way to get started. These topics may be of interest to anyone.

Hi Brian,

Last week we talked about pearls. Natural and cultured. in particular we discussed nucleated salt water cultured pearls, and freshwater non nucleated cultured pearls. Nice chat though none of us in the chatroom was by any means an expert on pearls. Some unanswered questions about the existence of non nucleated cultured saltwater pearls have been passed along to the Gem-A mailtalk where the subject has been well discussed. (Thanks Phyllis)

I'll start a thread here on the question too.

Bart was taking the log so hopefully he's past it along to Barbra ???

I managed to get Trillian working again (Thanks Africanuck :) ) so I probably have a copy of the log stored somewhere. Let me know if there is a problem with your copy Bart :) I've had trouble in the recent past trying to e-mail them in to Barbra.

Colour centers sound great. I learned a little about them via Alain and Annie but would really like to learn more on the subject. We don't mind how long you take to get to the 'meat' of the subject it's always better understood after getting there by the winding path

Be well

Frank

I'm in for that too, colour centers and all of the run-up to that.

Franck, for the log... sign into Trillian.

Click on the "Trillian" choice (above where your photo would go) to get the drop down menu, choose Activity History. It will give you a list of all of the chats that you've had. Click on the one you want and you will have the whole log.

From there, if you click on "File", you will have the drop down menu that gives you the choice "View as Text". If you click on that, it will open the log in Notepad. Just save it under whatever name you want to give it, and VOILA!

Did you'll ever have that chat on why the Chelsea Filter is useless?

Just tried to log on the chat room, doesn't look like I can do it, iphone doesn't support java!! :evil:

I have unlimited internet plan, so I am OK, but 3G is quite slow though.

---------

Barbara, Brian's talk was brilliant, his conclusion was we cannot use CCF as a diagnostic tool.

Julie, sorry, I didn't manage to ask my tutor about the non-nucleated saltwater cultured pearls that mentioned in the old notes.

It's ok, we are back to classes next week, so I'll ask him when I see him.

Trillian has an Iphone app, http://blog.ceruleanstudios.com/?p=476

You could Google IRC Iphone and you will come up with a number of apps that you can use on your phone. The IRC network settings are on the web login page.

Barbra I think Bart has the log on the chelsea filter chat.

I'll e-mail you last weeks pearl chat this evening. (Thanks Canuck I found it :) )
Did you get the other one I sent you Barbra?

Be well all... Hope you get connected Phyllis :)

All the chats that I have received have been posted here:
http://gemologyonline.com/chat_index.html

If there are any not listed, for one reason or another I did not receive them.

If you have any more, I will post them as soon as I receive them.
Thanks very much.

hmm, seems like we're missing the Chelsea filter discussion and also the discussion of "zircon is a microscopist's best friend". :(

No worries.
Just write yourself a wee reminder so you don't forget.
Thanks. :D
