Hi from the Pacific Rim. Have fun.

Wow! So you are going to be doing faceting rather than cabbing? That sounds like an exciting way to start if you have the training and materials for it. What material will you work with first? We’ll be excited to see you post the results of your first efforts.

Hi There, thanks for saying hello.  I use to cut diamonds so i hope it will help me with basics on the faceting. Probably just ask around what i can use to work with but i have some rough tourmaline /garnate's which i got from mates back home in South Africa.  cheers
