Pala International President Bill Larson will present a free seminar at next week\u2019s AGTA GemFair in Tucson, entitled \u201cCollectors of Gems and Minerals: How and Why<\/a>.\u201d <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The presentation is targeted at the basic-to-intermediate level:
Collector Bill Larson follows a fine tradition of a few noteworthy gem and mineral collectors such as Dr. Edward Gubelin, Dr. Peter Bancroft, and John Sinkankas whose collections have informed the industry and who were themselves inspiration for, and mentors to, Larson. In this session Larson discusses the collector\u2019s impulse, how to build your own gem and mineral collection, and reveals some of his holdings while appreciating the import of other gem and mineral collectors.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

This presentation will make a great companion piece to Jason Stephenson\u2019s \u201cCollecting and Investing in World Class Gemstones<\/a>\u201d featured previously in Pala\u2019s Gem News.<\/div>\n
