The Washington D.C. Chapter is honored to welcome Robert Weldon, Director of the Richard T. Liddicoat Gemological Library & Information Center, for a recap of the 2022 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
Robert Weldon has been covering Tucson gem and mineral shows for over 30 years. Because he always photographs some of the world’s most amazing gemstones when he is there, he will have a photo essay to share of highlights he saw in Tucson this year.
Weldon will be joined by Washington D.C. Chapter board members Denise Nelson, GIA GG, and Sherlene Bradbury, GIA GG, who will recap their very own Tucson Gem and Mineral Show highlights.
