Master Faceter and Lapidary Innovator Allan Lindberg

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Allan Lindberg, Master* Faceter and creator of several innovative faceting products. Join us in a discussion of Allan's history, his knowledge of the craft, and the services and products he provides to the lapidary community.

Some of Allan's products can be purchased at Sunstone Japan: https://sunstonejapan.com/tools-other
Contact Allan for inquiries about lap resurfacing or other services: [email protected]
I forgot to ask about them, but he can also make dops, including targeting dops.

*Qualified in the Master division of the United States Faceters Guild competition.
