I wasn’t able to attend all of the lectures in 2014 – but the ones I did make were standing room only and chock full of great information…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I want to thank Maury Destouet the General Manager of the Pueblo Gem & Mineral Show and the always polished Aisha Jan for assembling an amazing group of Experts for this Lecture Series.<\/p>\n

“I have the honor and pleasure to select the guest speakers and to assist in the organization of these events. Our company Rocksaholics <\/a>is a proud participant of this show.”<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n


<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
…and just wait until you hear who they have scheduled for 2015<\/a>!<\/i><\/b>

<\/i><\/b>It seems that each year the Tucson Gem Show comes back stronger than the previous year…and 2014 was no exception.<\/span><\/b>

<\/span><\/b>The crowds are definitely returning (albeit with tighter budgets) but for the vendors that is all they need!  You can’t look at row after row of amazing gems, minerals, home decor and jewelry without at some point figuring out a way to make the purchase!<\/span><\/b>

<\/span><\/b>The temptations and a definite uptick in business can be seen at the Pueblo Gem & Mineral Show – add to that this show is hands down in my top 3 MUST DO list and you have a recipe for a great day!<\/span><\/b>

<\/span><\/b>One of the things that is engaging shoppers at the Pueblo show is their Mineral Lecture Series…I know – lecture – ewww!  These are more like conversations with some of the most respected experts in the world!  I was able to attend two evenings of lectures….the Federicos and Gail Spann’s comeback presentation!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Shortly after booking this evening it soon became known as the Evening of the Federicos…the energy level at this event was through the roof!  The actual event was Pezzotta followed by Barlocher…of course if you know Federico Barlocher this will come as no surprise – who could follow him!?!<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

FB was fabulous with a video of the mining area – processing center – marketplace and many other views of an area which most people couldn’t get in to see!  And here we were in the heart of the action!  <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
