    Dear Noel, if you are not going to be able to take the time to
    attend GIA classes you must trust your dealer. I find that here in
    Tucson bargains are purchased all the time by locals who are not in
    the jewelry business from the gem show from dealers who will be
    leaving the area very soon. These shows really are for those who know
    what they are looking at and I find that there really are few
    bargains. You get what you pay for. Orchid has many good cutters and
    stone dealers who contribute. Try Gerry Garleneau ( I hope I didn't
    butcher your name too badly Gerry) for starters Sam Patania, Tucson
