BEST Faceting, lapidary, and gem forum? HELP ME PLEASE!!!

[Hullguitars]

Hello there. I have collected gemstones since I was in grade school. I have a decent collection, but have spent the past few years collecting mostly HIGHEST GRADE facet rough. It has been a dream of mine for almost two decades to learn the art of faceting.
I have read dozens of books absorbed every piece of info I could find, but I really want the interaction of a very active FORUM dedicated to gemology and the lapidary arts.
Thank you for your time.

There is no "Best", they all have their up and down sides. gemology online has a forum section which is quite useful.

Persoanlly I have been invited to several and ban from most.. I was invited to share my ideas about "shoe String" faceting.. then when they got what they wanted from me.. they ban me in the end.. So as EU said.. there really isnt any "online" lap site which one can (or one I can fit in) however, joining a social group (real one) can offer a few benifits.
