11 pieces of Ethiopian
Opal
totalling 36.48cts. Photo does not do these pieces any
justice. This
is the last of our rough which was cabbed by one of our cabbers.
$175/ct (ethop-10p-01p)
|

|
Two fine Ethiopian Opals
weighing a total of 9.61cts. $250/ct
Notice the interesting honeycomb pattern in the Opal on the right.
(ethop-10p-02p)
|

|
3.41cts
of Light Yellow Chrysobery, nicely faceted and clean as you can
see. The photo isn't too far off from the color, but it is a
light to medium lively yellow. (egaj-11-08p)
Oval 1.47cts - $221
Cushion 1.94cts - $291

Rarely
seen in this size or clarity, these Nigerian Spessartite Garnets look
like gum
drops. There are a few small inclusions, but for this material
this too is rare. Nothing in either gemstone is noticeable where
it would be considered a negative. Pear: 10.64cts;
Oval: 5.98cts (kjcl-11-15) $150/ct
(Note the original
asking price offered to us for these two pieces was $300/ct - and
considering what this material sells for, it wasn't ourageous,
but we had a local negotiator and after a day, we got a very good price
so we can offer these to our customers at a great price... More
than one person present during the purchase noted that these were clean
enough to facet and were surprised that they hadn't been faceted, as
the few inclusions would have been what was expected in gemstones of
this color and type!)

5.50ct
Ethiopian Opal, large and nice Play of Color! We have been
selling most of our stock that we have cabbed from rough to jewelry
stores. Now is the time to make your Opal purchase, as the prices
for this material are going up and before you know it, this new find
will be selling at prices comparable to Australian Opal!
(kjcl-11-13) SOLD! (to a Retail
Store)

Hackmanite (is
an important variety of sodalite) exhibits an
unusual phenomenon known as reversible photochromism, where a
mineral changes color when exposed to sunlight. This material is
from Afghanistan and this is the best of a parcel. Rarely does
one find large pieces and facet grade is even more rare. The top
photo shows the material after not having seen the sun (UV) for a few
days, and the bottom figure is when it is exposed to the sun for just a
few minutes! Initially , we tried to get the change by placing it
by a window, but because windows pass Infra-red but don't pass
Ultraviolet, the stones didn't change until we placed them
outside! A must for a collector. The first and last time we
saw this material in person was about 25 or more years ago. This
is the first Hackmanite that we have ever purchased, and hopefully, if
we find some fine material like this, we will purchase more!...
These unique pieces were mined in Burma! (kjcl-11-19)
$450 for the whole parecel consisting of 7 pieces and weighing a
total of 5.57cts!

A 2.72ct
Fire Opal from Mexico. A deep neon orange with reddish
highlights. Some might even call this Cherry Opal but we feel
that it falls into the Fire Opal category.
(kjcl-11-14) $225
|

|
Two fine
yellowish green or greenish yellow Sphenes (Madagascar) with LOTS of
dispersion -
hand picked from a large parcel for the best pieces with only two being
choosen. Emerald Cut: 2.47cts; Heart: 2.96cts
(kjcl-11-09p) $250/ct
|

|
Three
fine Spenes (Pakistan) with lots of dispersion, again, chosen out of a
large
parcel for the best brilliance and dispersion! Color is accurate
and can be described as a cognac, brandy or
orangy brownish yellow (?). Call the color anything
you like, but everyone will agree that it IS
beautiful! (kjcl-11-10p)
$250/ct
Small Trilliant: 1.95cts
Cushion: 1.56cts Under
Consideration - Inquire if Interested (RS)
Large
Trilliant: 2.78cts (kjcl-11-10p)

When this 7.28ct Fire
Agate was seen, it had to go into the All That Glitters
inventory. It has broad flashes of Green, Red and Orange as
you can see from the photo - which is very unusual for the material as
one usually sees the botryoidal variety.
(kjcl-11-26a) $299

"I went to pick up my aquamarine at the post office today. Everything
is perfect, the package came straight to the post office, for which I'm
grateful.
I am astounded by the aquamarine, and will propably end up gazing at it
for ages. It is absolutely beautiful and exceeds all of my
expectations. It is the finest gem in my collection!!! I'm so happy to
be the owner of such a gem. Thankyou. If it is this gorgeous in the
dark of night, I can't even begin to imagine how excellent it will be
in daylight.
One day I will set this in the finest platinum so it can become a
family heirloom.
I will definitely be a returning customer, I couldn't be more
pleased...."
