Hello Everybody
Tonight I have the very sad mission to inform you all that Ron Hartman, one
of the inventors of the IMCA has passed away.
Please read the note that I received from his son Jim:
Ronald N. Hartman passed away on August 30, 2011, after a brief illness. He
was a Professor of

Quartz formed in the Earth's crust, and stayed there. It is light
(compared with gold) and doesn't have an affinity for iron. Indeed, it
continues to form, given the abundance of silicon and oxygen in the
crust and mantle. In bulk, there is no more gold in meteorites than in
the Earth. The

In fact most of the finest Non-nugget specimens are usually found in quartz.

Carl all,
From what I understand gold is deposited with quartz because gold rarely occurs
as a mineral. Mineral deposits are formed by mineralized waters and magma. As
these solutions move along faults, joints and form veins, different elements
mate together to produce minerals as

The earth's crust is under a continuous process of differentiation by
various processes. By differentiation I mean the separation and
concentration of the various elements. There are probably a multitude of
mechanisms that allow concentration of specific elements, and all three

That's very sad to hear. Ron was one of the mainstays of the List. My heart
goes out to his family.

Thank you, Anne! I am sure Ron will meet up with his chum
Richard and they will rejoin in friendship up there, much closer
to their heavenly treasures
I wish to also offer my sincerest condolences to Ron's families -- his
direct, personal family and his larger family comprised of us all who
shared his love of this hobby.
I never had the privilege to personally meet Ron, but I did share some
wonderful correspondence via email with him over

WHAT A LOSS !
My sincere condolences to his family and friends!

Dear List, in the spirit of Ron,
Such a kind person always willing to help in a mentoring sense ... Ron,
a meteorite hunting pioneer. This is a terribly empty feeling to know
that Ron will not be there, but rather exploring the dimension that
comes after our fleeting individual existence on
Sad news indeed. He was a jewel in southern California's crown and
will be missed.
With sympathy,
Michael in so. Cal.

John Hendry gave us a good description of gold forming processes but
there is another method. This is the direct deposition of gold that has
been dissolved by biologic processes and not necessarily at higher than

accomplishments. He will be missed.
