barra de salinas tourmaline crystal
A nice naturally terminated green Tourmaline crystal from Barra de Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Great as a specimen or perhaps even set into a pendant. Weighs approx 15cts. Photo shows both the front and back. Small shallow chip on flat natural termination that can be seen with magnification at the right light angle. (ptzu-20-02) $500
terminated tourmaline crystal from Naipa Mine, Mozambique
terminated tourmaline crystal from Naipa Mine, Mozambique
Large terminated Tourmaline crystal weighing 672cts and measuring about 4 inches long! From the Naipa Mine, Alto Ligonha, Zambezia Province of Mozambique. Large plates of Tourmaline crystals on quartz plates have been known from this area, and they typically are watermelon, having a pink center and green rind/outer coating. This particular specimen appears black but when held under bright light, the body color is a blue and as one approaches the termination, it is green. As the color changes from blue to green, it appears that a shine to the surface can be seen, which indicates that cabachoned gems for the tip would produce Cat's Eye Tourmaline. Nice large terminated Tourmlaine from a famous locality!... (jrod-19-01a) $1,800

terminated quartz crystals with numerous tourmaline crystals, Naipa Mine, Mozambique
Large Double-Terminated Quartz Crystal with numerous transparent green to blue Tourmaline crystals - approx 6-1/2" high. From the Naipa Mine, Alto Ligonha, Zambezia Province of Mozambique. The first photo shows the two terminations of the Quartz at the top, and a larger photo of this image is available below. Other photos below show the specimen as it is rotated, to show the large number of Tourmalines that are scattered on the surface, with many being able to be seen imbedded in the Quartz itself, and more are probably totally hidden inside. Unsual for such transparent crystals, and the color is also very good from green, to green blue to blue. This piece has a lot of check marks for specimens of Quartz with Tourmaline growing on its surface and internally as the quartz grew around the Tourmaline crystals that were originally on the surface of the Quartz but were engulfed by the Quartz as it grew! (jrod-19-01b) $4,200.

Large 2,710+ct Quartz Crystal with beautiful inclusions including several sprays of crystals. Surfaces have been polished to allow viewing from all the natural crystal faces. Would look beautiful on a lit base or perhaps on a lit custom-made bronze base with hand-applied patina to match the color of the inclusions! We know an artist that can be contacted to create a custom bronze lit base! (tccl-18-01) $1,500.
large quartz cab with epidote crystals
Large 485+ct Clear Brasilian Quartz with numerous well-defined Green Epidote Crystals. This material is available in smaller sizes out there on the market, including in All That Glitters inventory, but to have such a large water clear piece with transparent green crystals, is very uncommon. (The price per carat for smaller pieces is far higher than the price per carat of this piece - to be marked at the same price per carat would mean this piece would have a price tag of just under $3,500 - and that price could be more of the expected price if one were to find a similar one for sale.) Great for display in a curio cabinet or as a paperweight. (mpnto-17-01) $2425 (Only $5/ct!) Measures approximately 75x35x26mm (about 3" long!)

mozambique terminated green-blue tourmaline crystal
mozambique terminated green-blue tourmaline crystal
Very lucky to find and purchase this beauty from Mozambique. Crystals from the mines in this locality of the world just aren't often seen. From the Naipa Mine, Zambebia Province, Mozambique - Terminated Green-Blue Tourmaline Crystal - 57.75cts. Color is predominately a very nice blue but depending on the lights we see a greenish blue color also. Transparent, terminated, with striations, other small parallel crystals on the side, just a beauty in general. These mines in Mozambique are known to produce Tourmalines containing copper (Cuprian Tourmaline). Some colors can be an indication of copper bearing gems/minerals, but many times it must be tested in a lab to determine the elemental make-up. We have seen neony Tourmalines that everyone would think contains copper and doesn't, and others that are pretty and not very bright, but do contain copper! (and many colors such as the purples and pinks from this area of the world do indeed contain copper....) (ftgu-17-01) $2,700

When a fine specimen like this is discovered in a collection, one has to try to purchase it. Took some negotiations and lots of thought on the sellers side... Don't see many of these in such a nice cluster/formation, clear, large, etc. Collected in the 1980s - Quartz, Var. Herkimer Diamond, Ace of Diamond Mines, Middleville, Herkimer Co., New York. Measures about 2.5" on one side. Nice curve, sort of looks like a question mark. Nice typical Herkimer inclusions. Seven crystals make up this piece - mostly water clear as you can see, with the beautiful contrasting inclusions. The second largest crystal seems to have a hint of color when on a white surface. (tcc-16-01) $3000 (We have seen another cluster at a mineral show with fewer crystals, not as clear as these, not as sharp or as well-defined but with a price tag was $3,600! For the size, the clarity, the shape, the inclusions, etc. this has got to be a very good buy for such a unique piece!)
Lemurian Terminated Quartz Crystal with Unique Etching and Orange Crystals!

unusual lemurian quartz crystal
Lemurian Quartz Crystal from Brasil with unusual etchings and small orange crystals on the surface. Measures appox 5"x1.5". Prices on Lemurian Crystals in Tucson are very high (into the thousands at times). This particular specimen is even more unique with these etchings and colored minerals on the surface - so unique that it had to be added to the All That Glitters inventory. One could also slice/cut this and utilize the etchings on the surface as an interesting back of a gemstone or cabinet piece when lit properly. The origin of this unusual crystal is Bueno'polis, Brasil. (brazimp-13-03) $750
Large Natural Diamond Crystal with Wonderful Inclusion!

natural diamond crystal with hydrogen cloud natural diamond crystal with hydrogen cloud
Natural Diamond Crystal weighing 2.82ct with an incredible dark Hydrogen Cloud in one half of the perfect octahedron crystal - which depending on the angle viewed, is mirrored to the other section! The original piece was frosted on the outside, so only the flat surfaces were polished so one could see the the Hydrogen Cloud without issue. The edges and girdle still show the original frosting. Country of origin is Zimbabwe and the body color of the crystal is off-white(light beige). These unique one-of-a-kind pieces are not found often and it is a great pleasure for us to be able to offer beauty to our customers at the present time. $7,500 (kjcl-15b-06)
natural blue sapphire crystal from Sri Lanka
This is another WOW mineral/crystal specimen. Origin is Sri Lanka, weighs 14.08cts and measures approx 20mm long, is doubly terminated and as one can see in the photos, can stand on it's own as one termination is flat - a unqiue termination...and the other termination is what is typically expected for Sapphire. Color is blue, which is another plus. There are striations as well as divots from other crystals growing next to it. Just a wonderful piece to admire natures beauty, and also the perfect size if one wanted to make a pendant (a woman or man's pendant could certainly be created with this piece). Larger photos are available upon request. (egaj-15-82) $7,500
quartz/amethyst slice with crystal inclusion
26.87ct Quartz/Amethyst Crystal Slice from Madagascar showing Amethyst Zoning as well as an included golden colored triangular Quartz crystal (look similar to a Liddicoatite Tourmaline Crystal, but two authorities have indicated it is quartz). (mnrk-16-04) $475
