NEPAL...

Welcome to Binod Tamrakar.  Binod is Ultra Tec's new representative in Nepal.  We met Binod, in February, at the gem show in Tucson, where he had a booth.  

Home for Binod is Kathmandu, where its spectacular surrounding view is of the Himalayas.  Those mountains are a source of exceptional gem material - Ruby, Sapphire.  Gem material is most often found in high locations - and, of course, in Nepal, home of Mt. Everest, high means HIGH,

We Welcome Matthias Zacke

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON...

Matthias Zacke

Welcome to Matthias Zacke of Seattle.  Matthias is originally from Germany.  After training in Idar Oberstein in the 1980's - as rigorous a training in the lapidary arts as one could imagine -  he set up shop in his hometown of Stuttgart where he was a successful gem cutter for the next 30 years.  Now, after 5 years in the USA, he's gotten back into the craft he loves - he's faceting - he's teaching.

We Welcome Homer Schmitz

NIGERIA... 

Welcome to Zephaniah Ndaja, Ultra Tec's representative in Nigeria.  Zeph is a gemologist and gem cutter who is helping to bring the faceting craft to his nation,   Nigeria has long been the source of extraordinary gem rough, and Zeph has spoken about the opportunity that this resource represents for his nation -- an opportunity to develop skills and "know-how" that translates to badly needed jobs.  He has pioneered in setting up training, and is excited about the possibilities that "high quality" cutting offers.
