    Dear List, In reply to Asa Jamason's question on Primitive
    Faceting/Lapidary equipment/tools. 

    I think that she could referring to the basic Jam Peg type of
    faceting machine found throughout the world, it is not really
    "primitive" in my opinion but did occur towards, the start of the
    art. 

    I can agree with her about the costs of today's faceting machines
    they are "spendy", while browsing on eBay I found a complete
    set/combo of a faceting machine with start up equipment for a very
    low price, it included an "American Facetor" machine and an
    assortment of laps dops ect. to get one started without spending much
    more than the cost of a Jam Peg machine.  I have had my "American
    Facetor" since 1974, still works fine!, well I would like to share
    with the list this Ebay members name as, I do not have his email
    address or phone number, he goes by the name of "AquaDennis" and
    also sells Opal rough, so if Asa or others are looking for a low
    price/high quality faceting machine, do a search on ebay for this
    guy. 

    The usual disclaimer, Not related to this guy, not in business with
    or other connections to (I did buy some opal rough from him at one
    time last year).
