Wow! Time sure is flying. Seems like only yesterday we were all biting our nails, down here, wondering how FIPP2009 was going to turn out, especially after the June gem show in Governador Valadares was cancelled suddenly just before the event.

Turns out that FIPP2009 was better than everyone's drastically lowered expectations.

News from dealers in Tucson is that sales were better than expected.
