I've set up a Facebook page and would be happy to add you as a friend. You can find me here: http://www.facebook.com/ptorraca

I'm also participating in OneWorlGemstones in their next update. I sent contributed to very special (that is, jaw-dropping) stones for their exhibit -- keep an eye on this site for the next release: One World Gemstone

The creator of OneWorldGemstone had another brainstorm and created Custom Gemstone Studio, a website that focuses on custom cutters and their work. But this site is not just another gallery, it is more of a forum where you can comment on almost any image you see. It's a well done site and worth your time to visit & comment: Custom Gemstone Studio

Some of you have mentioned to me that images hosted on Flickr are blocked by your local internet filtering software. I've started hosting a version of my images on my own web server. Hopefully this will let all of you enjoy the images.
