Welcome to all faceters I encourage your active participation in our dialogue about faceting and sometimes about other lapidary projects. We have many knowledgeable faceters, lapidaries and jewelers who are able to answer questions for beginners, intermediate and advanced faceters. I have been a lapidary for more years than I care to admit.I also am an active member in the Ohio Gemological Institute of America Alumni Association. I study at the G.I.A. and subscribe to their ethics,principals and practices. We strive to promote factual information and not perpetuate misinformation about faceting.I have a strict one strike and out policy regarding SPAM and disrepect. We cannot allow discussions of legal issues we are not knowledgeable about and bore us anyway. We discourage any contriversial discussions that are not productive to our objective, ENJOYING OUR HOBBY.
