I made a wonderful discovery last week – a new shop has opened in Orange (CA)! If you are coming in from outside the area it is just a few blocks off the freeway in a strip mall. It will be easier find when they switch out the Realty sign…but for now just look for the amazing display of fossils, books and home decor made from fossils and minerals.

They are kicking it off with a couple high powered book signing events – I met Renee Newman yesterday and on October 24th they will have Fred Ward available from 1pm – 3pm to sign any of his popular Fred Ward Gem Series.
I went in yesterday for the book signing with Renee Newman – they had a nice steady surge of folks who knew her work and were eager to meet this esteemed author…even Blue Sheppard, of the Stewart Tourmaline Mine and Gems of Pala fame looking debonair in a velvet jacket.
Several students from the Gemology program at Santiago Canyon College attended and I know that at least one brought her Diamonds workbook for Ms. Newman to sign.
I purchased the latest edition of her “Pearl Buying Guide: How to Evaluate, Identify and Select Pearls and Pearl Jewelry” and I thought that a copy of her “Gem and Jewelry Pocket Guide” would be a handy referral resource to carry in Tucson.
See you at the end of the month when we all head over to meet
Fred Ward!
If you haven’t had the opportunity to meet Fred and his brilliant wife Charlotte you are missing out. Fred tells some of the most wonderful gem mining stories and his photography is phenomenal. His travels as a photographer for National Geographic gave him entre to mines and collections that the average person will never see.
Saturday, October 24th
from 1pm – 3pm
Fred Ward
will be available to sign any of his popular Fred Ward Gem Series.
