Faceting Gemstones
The Treasures of the Earth Gem & Mineral Show was a wonderful success! For those of you who came to visit our booth, thank you, and it was wonderful seeing you! The NM Facetors Guild donated several items to the silent auction and nearly all were bid on! We look forward to the next show and seeing you all again!
The New Mexico Facetors Guild will have faceting demonstrations and examples of gems faceted by guild members. Please stop by!
