Jade Through The Ages Show 2012
For those of our friends who have been wondering where we have been the last six months or so: we have closed down our gallery location and are currently working on our 6th Annual – Jade Through The Ages Show – which will be held at the Tucson Gem And Mineral Show, in the main exhibition hall, from Feb 9-12, under heavy armed guard. Following my last two jade articles here on Timeless Jade, we experienced four robbery attempts and two violently successful robberies. It appears that writing educational articles has driven some people to madness. We are currently in the process of getting all the authentic items we own and represent into a secure museum location, either in China or at a major university in the US. Having to shut down such a beautiful, educational setting where people could physically compare real to fakes, and under microscopic conditions, was hurtful to many, but to keep so many precious items in a place of jeopardy was intolerable. In the future, we may write articles again here on Timeless Jade and on our Timeless Artifact web sites, on lesser pieces of scientific and educational value, but for now, getting the artifacts into a secure location and out of our personal names is of the utmost importance. Again, please excuse the interruption, and please come visit us at Jade Through The Ages .
