Hi, from Texas, Bacliff which is on Galveston Bay to be more precise. I'm retired, been wanting to get into faceting since I was 17 (now 80), and am finally doing it - better late than never...lol... I have 2 grandsons, aged 8 & 9 who with me have joined the Faceting branch of the Houston Gem & Mineral Society. Together we are all learning and enjoying it. Our faceting machine, an LD GEMS v2 should be arriving in the next 2 weeks. Got my fingers crossed for nothing but the best.

I must extend a profound welcome.
Your posts have been very educational and insightful.

Keep them up.

Perhaps we won't always agree but I certainly have respect for your comments!
