This Weekend(October 23 and 24) Ron and I were in Los Altos at the "Peninsula Gem and Mineral Show". They are a smaller Gem Club, and the Show had Eleven Dealers. But even with being a smaller show, we were kept quit busy talking and showing what we had to offer. Some of the Dealer's were - Rick Kennedy with Earth's Treasures, he has the most amazing specimens - and one of the few Dealers that has Benedonite specimens and the faceted ones also. Sal Chavez with Casa De Lumbre - if you are looking for opals and spinels - he is the person you want to see. Nancy Nagle with N.C. Nagle Gemstones a supplier of assorted loose gemstones and beads.
These were just a few of the dealers that were at the Gem Show.
Ron was kept busy show people different polishing tricks, diamond carving tools - and having them drooling
over his finished carvings. He also got the chance to talk to a few of the under sixteen crowd, about the Lapidary Arts. One of Ron's goal's is to be able to teach - to be able to pass it on to the younger generation.
So, one of my goals is - I need to set up a program - so we can do some classes for the next generation.
Another weekend, and Gem Show is done for the year - we enjoyed it - it was a great weekend.
Many of you came by to say Hi!, and show us what you have been working on.
The next event is the "Gem Stone Carving Class" in Gilroy at Graceful Custom Studio's. Those of you that have signed up, we look forward to seeing you next weekend, October 29, 30, & 31, 2010.
