Ron LeBlanc of ‘Gem Hunt’ On Four Grainer: Inside the Jewelry Trade

In our 19th episode we sit down and talk with Ron LeBlanc, the co-host of the television show "Gem Hunt" which airs on the Travel Channel Network.

Ron shares stories of his early days as a naive young man traveling in Morocco in the 1070's, where he was fleeced by a merchant outside the Kasbah in Casablanca when he bought some worthless stones.  

Ashamed, Ron vowed to learn the difference between junk and gems.  He went on to study at the prestigious Gemological Institute of America and upon completion of his studies, began a series of international adventures - from Bangkok to Bogata' - in search of beauty and the perfect gem.
