For those not going to Tucson this year, 

Tucson Gem Shows Special!
While EVERYONE is at Tucson this month and next, and you can't get hold of anyone to get what you want/need, or you will have to wait until they get back some time in February,
I will be HERE TO MEET YOUR GEMSTONE NEEDS!

Lastly, but most importantly:
While all the faceters are in Tucson, away from their workshops, I'll STILL be IN mine!
