Upcoming Shows
I will be at the Santa Fe Ethnographic show August 15, 16 17 -- 2008. The stuff for sale will be largely Guatemalan antiques -- weavings, dance masks, wood carving and other ethnographic items. I will have with me some jade, but not as much raw jadeites as I would have at other shows. However, if arrangements were made in advance, I could bring specific sorts of raw jadeites as part of my baggage. So -- the point of this is to recommend that possible purchasers for whom a visit to Santa Fe is not too inconvenient should contact me by email or phone to arrange for me to have raw jadeite on hand on the dates given above. There is a website a lots of other publicity on this grand show
I will have mostly raw jadeites at the Denver Gem and Mineral Show September 12, 13 14 (Friday throught Sunday) 2008. The show is at the Denver Merchandise Mart just off I-25 near downtown Denver. The particular spot within the big complex is East - 32. The show's website is easy to navigate and is comprehensive -- denvermineralshow.com As I write this on 9 May I do not know where I will be staying, but by that time I shall have a cell phone, I will have with me a lot of the finest examples of all the finest Guatemalan jadeites that exist. I may be wise to contact me about bringing some specific material before I leave home.
I will be at the Tucson Gem and Mineral extravaganza in early February 2009. I expect to be in for about a week. As I write this, my whereabouts are yet uncertain. But I am readily accessible by phone and email beforehand and will be in the course of the stay in Tucson. In 2008 my station was room #208 at the Ramada Limited. The staff at the motel know me well and will be good about taking and forwarding messages. It might be prudent to contact me by email or phone so that I may bring with me or send ahead materials that a collector, carver or other specialist may wish to see. I will also be at the scheduled meetings and gatherings of the Friends of Jade.
I should be officially listed in the massive "guide" with a lot of data and my special products. I shall not have a published position in an official, named exhibition requiring a stay of weeks. However, I should be accessible by cell phone and email and will call on interested persons, if requested.

Further: I will be a dealer at Kim Martindale's American Indian show in Marin County in late February 2009.
Further yet: I will again be at the Santa Fe Ethnographic Show and the Denver Gem and Mineral Show in 2009. Circumstances will be much as is given above, but the dates will be different. More later on this. rdm dick@bluejade.info
