The MV workshops were a wealth of practical gemological and appraisal information you would not have wanted to miss.
Nancy Stacy conveyed her experience and expertise to those in attendance. Hands-on practical exercises in the areas of comparables and estate appraisals really added to the students' learning experience.
We had 2 added experts who addressed our students:
John Kessler
CEO of Kessler Manufacturing
John discussed cameos with the group and brought along an extraordinary amount of cameos for everyones observation.
John I. Koivula, G.G., C.G., F.G.A.
Chief Gemologist, GIA
John provided a very informative presentation titled
"The Microworld of Jade" in which he discussed the various inclusions found in Jade.
