bkkmaak Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thailand is the place to be for gemology! Search for GIA Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanForbes Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 An acquaintance of mine deals in semi-precious gems and stones in and around Thailand. He tells me it is a VERY SHADY RACKET! You REALLY need to know your stuff, and even experts get fooled by almost perfect imitations. It's a case of buyer beware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not interested in going to Bangkok or taking a GIA course online. Just a 3-5 day 'essential knowledge' type course is what I'm looking for.
