SAD NEWS: Gannicott Bob passed away on August 3. After an extended battle with leukemia at age 69. He built Dominion Diamond Corporation…. Diavik, then the acquisition of Harry Winston brand and Ekati diamond mine.

Dirlam Receives WJA Special Services Award for Excellence Dona Dirlam, a near 40-year veteran of the gem industry and founder of GIA Library and Information Centre)was recently honored for her innovative work with the Women’s Jewelry Association (WJA) for excellence.. ( On a personal note ….. well done and well deserved Pat) GSA Annual Meeting to be held Sept. 27 in Denver … author abstracts of TYPE II diamonds Bussweiler et al. The evolution of calcite bearing kimberlites by melt rock reaction Lac de Gras ..IN: Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology Kueter et al. Tracing the depositional history of Kalimantan diamonds …. IN: Lithos Nimis et al. First evidence of hydrous silicic fluid films around solid inclusions… IN: Lithos Palot et al. Evidence for H2O bearing fluids in lower mantle ( inclusions) … IN: Lithos ***I would also appreciate any suggestion(s) for concepts or needs ( ie. Alike to the microdiamond request)? Which I could/would send out on the cover page for requests from individuals to provide or highlight articles of interest on the concept? It helps all of us.
