End of the Summer is always a bittersweet period, however for us at The Global Stone, its always an exciting time knowing that first few weeks of September will be spent in beautiful Colorado, attending the annual Denver gem show. Quick flight, organized car rental, and within an hour of arrival, we are already visiting our friends at one of the shows which is just a 20 minute drive from the airport. 

Hope you enjoy our picture story of our trip :)
