IN
TUCSON-- SEE THE NEW V5 FACETING MACHINE

Here
are some "Quickie" Reviews
John
Dyer -- CORRECTION.
The January Sometimes reported that John Dyer, in his report on
the new V5, said "FANTASTIC!!!" - bold print and 3
exclamation points. That was incorrect. Actually,
John Dyer wrote "FANTASTIC!!!!!!"
- bold print and 6 exclamation points.
John's
review was accompanied by this photo of his first V5 stone - it
is a 19 ct. Morganite beauty.
Stephen
Kotlowski -- Stephen
telephoned about the V5. The first words of his
conversation were "You
guys have nailed it!" -
printed bold because Stephan spoke loudly, excitedly, and
emphatically (for those readers who are not USA residents,
"You guys have nailed it!" is an American
colloquialism that means "You have gotten it
perfect").
Stephen
also adds on his Phenomenal Facets FACEBOOK
page "The
new V5 mast has transformed Stephen Kotlowski's Ultra Tec into a
a very speedy set up. The DAD is also a must as it alone has
made a very BIG difference in how he does things now...
The new addition of the V5 mast I received recently is icing on
the cake!"

Dalan
Hargrave -- A
few days later, in telephone conversation, Dalan Hargrave
 said
about the V5, in his own soft-spoken, but very direct manner
-- "It's
perfect".
Now,
"It's perfect " needs no interpretation. And
"It's perfect" needs no "translation "
either, but here are some: perfecto, perfekt,
完美, perfetto,
idealny, 完全, puikus,
taydellinen, perfecte, مثالي,
идеальный, מושלם,
perfectum, sempurna, สมบูรณ์.

We've

are never too old to become interested in faceting -

Introducing....
A New Representative...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We
Welcome Daniil Gorbushin
...
Southeast Russia
Daniil
- a very young 46 year-old grandfather - was born and lives in Cheliabinsk,
Russia - in the southern Ural Mountains. He loves mining
expeditions into the nearby Potaninmountains, where he
finds sapphire crystals (see the pictures - findings of a recent
expedition - Daniil writes that when the snows beak up, allowing
a return, he is headed back). Over the years, Daniil has
amassed a good collection of rough sapphires, ready for
faceting. He reports that he shares his love of gems- and
shares his gem findings - with a wide circle of friends.
Daniil says: 'My dream is to
devote the
remainder of my life
to gems and gem-cutting.'

out more about Daniil's business at www.faceter.ru
We welcome Daniil to the Ultra Tec
team!
