Do you use White Diamond Pro (WD Pro)? |
|
Many of our members use WD Pro (Diamond Software) as their inventory/financial management software.
As some of you know, the owner of WD Pro (Sako) has been battling cancer and unfortunately is not doing well. We wish him and his family our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
We are reaching out to our members to notify them of the situation.
We have created a committee to discuss our options moving forward and any potential companies that may be interested in helping those who wish to merge to new software.
Please contact the club if you wish to get more information
regarding this topic.

A Trip to the Gemstone Mine in San Diego
-Shared by Charles Carmona
|
|
Last Sunday, 60 members of the Los Angeles chapter of the GIA Alumni Association went to the Oceanview gemstone mine in northern San Diego county. The pegmatite deposit produces tourmalines, quartzes, aquamarines, kunzites, apatites, columbites, and other gems. After the introduction to the screening process by the mine crew, members were taken underground in small groups to see the areas from which the week’s production came. The mine's tailings that members sifted through later above ground came directly from the mines that we had just toured. The crew had done a great job of picking out all of the saleable material, either as crystals or for faceting, but there were a few good ones that they missed, and that we found in our sifting. |
