Santa Maria Afrique!   $300/ct MATCHTED PAIRS - WOW!!!

1.27ct Matched Pair - $381 SOLD! - Dealer Sale	1.32ct Matched Pair - $396 SOLD! - Dealer Sale

1.45ct Matched Pair - $435 SOLD! - Dealer Sale

Destined to be a Collectors Stone, one of our associates sold the largest faceted (and clean) piece found to date - 6+cts for over $70,000!

Most of the material is cabachoned and for the most part, is not very attractive because it is not clean. Some of the material that has a sheen, they are calling cat's eye material, but it is typically not of good quality. The cat's eye/cab material, as well as cleanish material to cut faceted stones is far and few between and EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE to the point of being ridiculous. The only individuals who will be purchasing this material are those serious collectors. GIA's Gems and Gemology has an article on this material in their latest edition.

<   New Mineral - Pezzottaite  >

0.73ct Cat's Eye Pezzottaite  This is one of the best examples of a Cat's Eye and Translucency that we have seen.   The person who sold the largest faceted Pezzottaite to date said this was a fine example.  Currently priced below  what one would expect - $1,100 This material hasn't been found for over the past several years!

Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl - 2.45ct Nice size, wonderful transparency, incredibly sharp eye - the finest we have had in over 20 years. The photos do not do this gem justice! 7.4X5.9X6.0  (aw-04-03)   $1,225

5.45ct Pakistani Peridot, U.S. Faceted Wonderful cut and color - the color in the photograph is deeper than in real life, but it is a real nice Peridot color and it certainly sparkles.  This is a very large and very clean Peridot.  There are a few small inclusions which are not readily visible to the naked eye.   (flg-97-01)  $1,363

0.71ct Benitoite

This is California's State Gemstone.  A real rarity - this particular stone is quite large for this material, is clean, has a great color and is well cut.  A super example of this rare gemstone and at a great price too!  Approximate dimensions:  7.1x4.4x3.2mm  (itco-03-01)  $1,030

The above Benitoite was found for sale on line.  It makes our Benitoite a Steal or a Give-A-Way! (And ours isn't overly dark as this more costly one!)

0.63ct Round Brilliant Diamond
This wonderfully brilliant yellow diamond is SI or better and has incredible yellow color with a hint of green.  The dispersion is very strong and must be seen.  This diamond comes with a certificate from GIA indicating that the color of this gemstone has been enhanced.  It is a natural diamond, but like some of the pinks, teals, greens, reds, blues, etc. the color has been induced but is stable.  This is a piece that the owner of All ThatGlitters has had in mind for a  mans ring, accented by very white diamonds. The color, cutting, clarity and dispersion, doesn't get better than this!  $2,600  (Just an incredible color, cut, clarity and gemstone!)
