RAPAPORT... The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) released a
program of its activities at two trade shows in Tucson, Arizona, in February.
The organization will offer gem identification and country-of
origin services at the AGTA GemFair through the GIA Show Service Laboratory,
accepting gemstones on-site from February 1 to 7.
It
will offer a free seminar on February 5 giving the latest news from
GIA’s research. Three fee-based classes are scheduled between February 1 and 6
for which preregistration is required, comprising a diamond-grading laboratory
class, a seminar on gemstone-treatment identification and another session on
identifying diamond treatment. The GIA will also exhibit a collection of yellow
gems entitled “Striking Gold!” from February 2 to 7.
The GIA
Alumni Association's annual auction, dinner and dance party will be held February
5 at the Marriott University Park Hotel in Tucson. GIA experts will also be
available through the AGTA GemFair to answer questions on a range of topics.
At the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show (TGMS) from February 11 to
14, the GIA will put on an exhibition of blue gems and jewelry, “Mother Nature
Sings the Blues,” to coincide with the show’s “Shades of Blue: Minerals of the
World” theme. Other features will include a show of books giving insights into
the library’s recent digitization project.
