For those who don’t know: At the Houston Gem and Mineral Society club house we have six Ultra-Tec V2 machines dedicated for training new-bee’s. Anyone living in the Houston area interested in learning gemstone faceting can contact Randy Carlson, our “Gemstones & Faceting” section chairman for more information. He is on this Face Book forum. Or come to the Gemstones & Faceting section meeting, which is held from 6:30 to 8:30 PM on the second Wednesday of the month.
When a faceting class isn’t scheduled, these six machines can also be checked out for one month at a time to club members who have taken one of our faceting classes and has been certified by the instructor for their use.
