Is this still a thing? Cant find much updated information on this guild.
I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and would love to link up with some faceters. I know of virtually zero in the area.

Thanks!

You may want to join the USFG if there is no local guild.

I would guess the guys at Southwestern Minerals might know something, since they sell facet rough (at least they did last time I was there anyway, like 4 years ago).

Nancy and Stephen Attaway are/were major folks in the faceting realm there...

The New Mexico Faceter's Guild site seems a bit aged...
