concave faceted clear danburite
Clear Danburite Ovals with wonderful concave faceting;total weight is 11.90cts - average weight would therefore be about 6cts each; Madagascar. Could possibly be a matched pair and will determine that shortly. (kjcl-15a-15c) $75/ct
fine 4.33ct chrysoberyl cushion
23.36ct Pear Shape. Purchased in a market in Mae Sot, Thailand, on the Burmese border, said to be natural blue Quartz from Burma. Only saw one other dealer who had this material, also said to be natural blue Quartz from Burma, and several pieces were available. We refaceted this piece to improve the optics without an excessive weight loss. Has some dispersion(?) and colors seen depending on the angle at which it is held. Color is a grey blue or bluish grey - photo is picking up lots of other colors. We will sell this below cost and as glass, as we are uncertain of it's true identity. $100 (maesot-15-01)

quartz with inclusions
It doesn't get much better for Included Quartz! Look at the spray of crystals inside this Water Clear Quartz fancy shaped cab. One can spend hours looking at the internal world in this piece, using a simple hand held lense/loupe or microscope. Included Quartz with interesting inclusions are not all that common and prices for fine specimens like this have been increasing in value. We sold a super piece last year for $1300, and this one, though slightly different, is just as good! This piece weighs 31.34cts and one can get an idea of the size with the fingers holding the piece over white paper. (vst-14b-01c) $1,300
quartz with inclusions
This is a very complex and busy Included Quartz weighing 14.07cts. There are multi-layers of Pyrite cubes that can be seen in the left hand photo, and a more detailed photo is available in the right hand column for viewing should one click on the link. There is another interesting mineral at about 9 o'clock. We haven't looked closer at this crystal but it looks as if it could be feldspar or another Pyrite possibly replaced by another mineral. (vst-14b-01a) $700
We were very fortunate to visit with our associates living in Madagascar and we selected a few (3) wonderful examples of Fluorite Crystals in Water Clear Quartz! These few hand picked pieces were outstanding aesthetically - as most of this material looks nothing like this. Since these are larger gemstones, we were able to obtain very good photographs showing the Blue Fluorite Crystals within the Quartz. This is the last piece from that parcel and some would say the nicest aesthetically. Enjoy and don't miss the video!
NOTE - we have discovered that this was incorrectly priced on our webpages in the past. Our database shows this should be selling at our low price of only $299, though the displayed price on our website was $449! This has been corrected, saving All That Glitters customers $150!
This is our last piece of this unique material and we haven't see it available for years - some pieces do hit the market, but the Quartz can be cloudy and the Fluorite Crystals not nicely spaced and therefore not aesthetically pleasing... Grab this now for your collection of piece of jewelry while it is available.

color changing YAG
Rare Color Changing YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) grown in Russia sometime in the past, 40-50 years ago. The Russians were known to be experimenting and on the cutting edge with crystal growth for all kinds of purposes, many pertaining to military use. With their multitudes of experimentation, sometimes only one or a few crystals were grown. What the purpose of this unusual color changing crystal might have been remains a mystery, but for those who seek a beautiful gemstone, these few pieces represent a rare find as noted in the article link below. Depending on the light source and the wavelengths available, one can see green or orange body colors in these faceted gems!
8x8mm: $175
9x9mm: $300
8mm: $150
9mm: $225
(exomin-13a-1a)
The rough was studied by GemeWizard - see the article on the following page:
Color Change YAG A Rare Gem Indeed
"Although their color change intensities are different, both specimens display quite a rare phenomenon and, therefore, will be highly prized by every collector. Brown is considering cutting them into smaller pieces, to enable more gem lovers to add these interesting items to their collections. But no matter how many pieces he cuts, each lucky owner will know that he or she is in possession of a remarkable item."

This material in the possession of All That Glitters has been photographed and described in another article published by the Gemological Associate of Great Britain in their Gems & Jewellery Magazine, Tucson 2014 (Shows and Recent Events), page 7, "Andrew Fellows FGA DGA discusses the new and interesting featured at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show 2014".

color changing YAG
color changing YAC
Rare Color Changing YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) grown in Russia sometime in the past, 40-50 years ago. The Russians were known to be experimenting and on the cutting edge with crystal growth for all kinds of purposes, many pertaining to military use. With their multitudes of experimentation, sometimes only one or a few crystals were grown. What the purpose of this unusual color changing crystal might have been remains a mystery, but for those who seek a beautiful gemstone, these few pieces represent a rare find as noted in the article link below.

This is the largest gemstone faceted from the Pink to Clear Color Changing YAG. It measures 25mm in diameter and weighs 98.78cts.

It is also believed to be the largest gemstone that All That Glitters has ever faceted from rough we have purchased. The color change goes from a very lively medium pink to lilac to clear depending on the available light source/wavelengths. (Since we pay per carat to facet our rough, this almost 100ct gem cost $$$$ and at only $25 per carat for a Published Gemstone, this is a steal and a give-a-way; it doesn't typcially matter whether one is faceting a fine Amethyst, Tourmaline or a Rare Synthetic - the price for cutting is based on the difficulty and issues encountered, the time required to facet and the weight of the final gemstone. Faceting a large facet on such a gemstone as this, takes a very long time versus faceting a similar facet of the same design on a much smaller gemstone. Even at $10-$20/ct per finished carat, the cost of cutting/labor adds up fast and it is only by the good graces of the cutter that they take into account at times the material being cut, as cutting can be more costly than the finished gemstone value. We do have a 9+ct in this material priced at $50ct - if we were to mark this almost 100ct at the same price per carat, we would have a $5000 gemstone. That being said, it is a mult-published gemstone, grown by specialists in Russia, for an unknown application, and most likely only a few crystals were grown as a trial. Other than 2013, we have not seen any of this material available on the market, nor do we expect it. For under $2000, one is purchasing all of these facts/pluses with this particular gemstone.)

Now a Published Gemstone - noted in two different publications!
The rough was studied by GemeWizard - see the article on the following page:

This large round has also been photographed and described in another article published by the Gemological Association of Great Britain in their Gems & Jewellery Magazine, March 2014:
Tucson 2014 - Shows and Recent Events
"Andrew Fellows FGA DGA discusses the new and interesting featured at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show 2014".
Note that the article mentions that several gemstones have been cut from the rough, with the largest in excess of 100cts - that statement is incorrect, the largest faceted is this 98+ct Round Brilliant discussed here.

This is an exceptional piece for a collection or even for discussion. When shown in Tucson, it had GIA, Gem-A, and GemeWizard talking - obviously so much that it was published so it could be shared with the world. Due to the rarity and publication, one could ask whatever they wish for this beauty, but we felt the current price is very fair and it will be missed when sold....A copy of the magazine in which this fascinating gem appears, will be included with the purchase!...
