Jade

The four speakers at the jade symposium, including the funny guy from mexico, Dante Lopez

The foreigners auction, a first of its kind. Many sales lots of smiles and good food to finish it off.

I missed a few of the foreigners pieces, but i have most of them from the exhibition.

Opening ceremonies, Lots of music, Cameras and speeches that you can't understand a word of :p!!

Like Bangles?? These ladies and gents will make you a perfect bangle in a few hours for a very very good price.

Before the exhibition opening the “Best of the West” dropped of selected pieces to be exhibited at the event. I was certainly excited to see the incredible pieces that everyone carved for the Exhibition.
