Please Read: You must bring your own gemological testing tools. None will be provided. All students should have a good working knowledge of the refractometer, polariscope, conoscope, dichroscope, Chelsea filter, and spectroscope (or at least working on that). Students are not required to have a gemological diploma. Students enrolled in gemology programs are very welcome. This will be a challenging 3 days where you will see a broader selection of natural, treated, and created gemstones than any where else available at this price. Class will be taught by ISG President, Robert James FGA, GG. The only other pre-requisite is to prepare to have fun while learning. We have some weird things to show you.
