We are back from attending the Tucson Gem, Rock and Mineral Shows - we believe we first attended the shows 39 years ago. We have purchased a total of 20 items while away and this includes: 15 gemstones / 2 mineral specimens / 3 pieces of rough These gemstones include some very exiciting pieces such as a number of "Special" Montana Sapphires, Wonderful (and small) Color Change Zircon from Burma, Grey Spinel which are our firsts in 45+ years in business, Tourmaline, Blue/Purple Spinel, Demantoid Garnet, Matched Pair of 8mm Round Tanzanites as well as a 9mm Round all of deep glowing blue depending on the lights and there are also two cabs that we purchased elsewhere with one including what is called Iolite Sunstone which is a new find and has been getting lots of play in the gemstone world after it was the center gemstone in a well-known custom designed jewelry contest!
| COLOR CHANGE Burmese Zircon
GIA Certed! - Simply the Best Color Change Available... DEEP BLUE TO DEEP GREEN! |
| What has been sold as Color Changing Zircon from Burma has been VERY Disappointing in general compared to the photos originally seen of this material - like many Alexandrites, Padparadschas, Rubys, Color Changing Diaspore and others, when professional companies photograph these items in jewelry or as loose gemstones, they will usually modify the color to the point where it no longer resembles what the gemstone actually looks like - and it is always to their advantage. The color change Zircons seen in Bangkok were very disappointing and one has to use their imagination to see the color change; the same was true for the most part in Tucson, though there was a few gemstones that were quite impressive. Usually the gemstones are on the larger side being at least 5cts and some seen were even 15 cts and more. One exceptional gemstone of this species/phenomenon is this example and it is perhaps one of the smallest but finest color change for this relatively new find in Burma. Weighing only 2.04cts, this brilliant Trilliant goes from a nice blue to a vivid deep green as seen in the videos. This gemstone was important enough for the original owner to have it certed by GIA - click the link below. There is no need to spend $7000+ for some of the better material when you can have this super color changing example at a fraction of the price. (3090gm-26-01) Only $3468 |

The next 10 gemstones represent purchased made while in Asia for one month. In that months time frame, we only selected 10 gemstones that we felt were unique and well priced, as prices on the wholesale level are much higher over the past few years as noted in a number of articles we have published as our Monthly Gem News. In the past, a month abroad might produce about 150 new gemstones in inventory, after viewing many tens of thousands of pieces (if not more) over that timeframe. Due to pricing and existing inventory, we have had to be even MORE selective than in the past. We seek those items that are high quality, unique/uncommon for some reason, decently faceted, eye clean depending on the species and rarity, of a size worthwhile for center gemstones in jewelry – and very importantly, those that have value right up front.

| Flashy Dispersive Round 5.62ct Sphene from Madagascar. One must see in person to believe! (Higher Dispersion Value: Sphene's dispersion number (0.051) is greater than diamond's (0.044), leading to more dramatic color separation and Fire!) Body color can be described at yellow-green or golden-green depending on the lights. A must have for the collector or those that want something that everyone will ask what it is!

| Another Rarity and New Find!! Clear Garnet (Grossular – Cushion Shape -5.44ct) – in order for Garnet, Sapphire,
Spinel and some other gemstones to be clear, there cannot be any elemental impurities other than what makes
up a particular gemstone species. Any element other than this, will cause the crystal/gemstone to have some
color – even if very light in saturation/tone. This is a new find and quite rare. Said by some to be from Tanzania,
the origin noted by someone more in the know is Zambia – some are trying to keep the origin under wraps.
Unfortunately, most of the material is all small and has white inclusions which are obvious to the unaided eye.
Larger pieces are typically the same – larger but with these white inclusions, but larger is still more
uncommon that the one carat-ers (plus/minus). However, there are always rare exceptions which this particular
gemstone represents. Eye clean but if louped there are a few inclusions (which are interesting) and large,
as well as certed, this is a special gem. Our friend/associated had a certed piece (smaller than the one here)
that was eye clean and decent size also, but we passed on this due to price. We were lucky enough to find one
certed piece of good size(!) and clarity – so we grabbed it! It was less in price per carat than our associates
as well as larger - so we can offer our customers an even better deal on this rarity!
NOTE - Pantones Color of the Year is White! So clear stones are in this year so this rarity should be even more popular! (sdcl-25-01) $1000/ct - $5440 |

| 3.59ct Yellowish Pyrope-Spessartine Garnet. The color is a yellow with a hint of orange. The color did not photograph well and is too golden in this photo. However, it is a unique color, lively, well cut, clean gem! This would most likely classify as a variety of Malaia Garnet, but with a very distinct unusual color... (egaj-11-54) $3590 |

| Here is a Wonderful Blue Fancy Cut Montana Sapphire!
Below the image, you will find two videos showing two CAD/CAM Designs for a Pendant for this particular gemstone as well as another similarly shaped Blue Montana Sapphire. One design has Diamonds on the side of the pendant. Can be made in either White or Yellow Gold and one can use either Natural Diamonds or Save $$$ by using Lab Grown Diamonds. Check out the designs - turn around time would probably be about 1 month and we wouldn't be able to start this project until we enter 2026! Visit Our Montana Sapphire Page to see the other gemstone that would be perfect for either of these designs! *** Montana Sapphires *** |

| Don't think much has to be said about this Montana Sapphire, as the picture can speak for itself... This is a U.S. Gemstone and faceted in the U.S. by a cutter known for his cutting of Montana Sapphires. The rough came from El Dorado Bar and was cut in this beautiful hexagon and weighs a whopping 2.86cts. Color is various blues depending on the lighting being viewed under. This is a must have for those seeking an American Sapphire from an important location and the superb cutting and fine color just adds to the desirability. (bng-19-01) $8580 | |

| This piece was created in the past, but never posted on the All That Glitters website, so we are correcting that now!
An exceptionally deep blue aquamarine was recut (6+ct after recutting) by one of our multi-award winning cutters (whose work is on display in the Gem/Mineral Museum in Tucson),
from an original gem in the All That Glitters inventory. One of our custom goldsmiths created this intricate pendant via CAD/CAM, specifically for this
gemstone, which is surrounded by diamonds and hangs on a chain chosen to accent the whole piece. An exquisite piece.

| GIA CERTED/Laser Inscribed 1.06ct Diamond, VVS2/J - Estate Engagement/Wedding Band |
| An Estate Piece consisting of both the Engagement Ring and Wedding Band.
One doesn't have to keep these pieces intact - the important gemstone in these two pieces is the Center Diamond -
Remove that and put into any ring you wish and use the other diamonds as accents.
The Center Diamond is VVS2 in clarity, so extremely HIGH on the Grading Scale. The color is J which is still white but showing some color. It is GIA Certed - so you have no issues knowing the Clarity, Color, Dimensions, Weight, Cutting, Polish and other nfo. You know that the Diamond is the one in the cert, as on the girdle it has the GIA Cert Number etched by laser! 14 karat white gold engagement ring, set with a cushion modified brilliant cut diamond , weighing 1.06ct, of J color and VVS2 clarity, that is laser inscribed and accompanied by a GIA certification #2155377248. Recent measurements estimate the center diamond is accented by approx. 0.74 ct. total weight of round brilliant cut diamonds, of SI clarity or better and of white color. Accompanied by a 10 karat white gold wedding band that is set with more round brilliant cut diamonds - these diamonds are numerous but insignificant in size compared to those around the main diamond in the engagement ring and is a nice match and enhances the engagement ring; nice to have the wedding band available too! Ring size 4 approx (will remeasure if necessary upon request, but can be sized if desired or dis-assembled to create another ring/band if desired - the important gemstone is the 1.06ct GIA Certed Diamond! Note that since we have dealt with colored gemstones for over 45 years now, and sometimes deal with diamonds (we mandate GIA Certs for all diamonds we sell), we are unfamiliar with retail pricing in either colored gems or diamonds - so did a google search for Retail price of GIA Certed Modified Cushion Brilliant, J Color, VVS2 clarity. We came up with the info via AI and we did a screen grab. Regardless of how many times we did this, we could only get a quote on a VS2 clarity and not a VVS2 clarity which is two full steps higher in clarity. The high end for retail for just the diamond would therefore probably be in the $6700 ballpark as estimated from what was seen on line; that is for the diamond only, not the gold engagement and wedding band or small diamond melee. We have what we feel is a good price for this piece - which does not only include the major center diamond, but the two gold settings and associated diamonds. (wsan-23-01A) ONLY $4,100 |
