Gemstones - Newly Photographed

Note that those gemstones below are being offered at their Initial Public Offering (IPO) and typically priced to move quickly. Prices may increase on any particular gemstone depending on market conditions and the fact that many of All That Glitters items are One of a Kind...

All That Glitters is known for searching throughout the world for the Finest Gemstones and Rough of high quality and uniqueness. Lower quality material may be be found online or in stores, but few have the exceptional material that we offer the trade and our online customers. Gemstones will only be added to our inventory if color, size, cutting, clarity and price match our strict criteria!

9.59ct Round Faceted Synthetic/Lab Grown Alexandrite from All That Glitters rough and faceted by the owner of All That Glitters. This design harkenss back to older cutting styless due to the large six crown facets, steeper crown and small table - but the design just increases the flashes of color that one sees. Flashes of true blue, teal, pink, red can be seen coming off the body color which will vary due to available wavelengths. All That Glitters pricing on gems cannot be matched! Here is a case where the retail price for Synthetic Alexandrite is $495/ct - that's not our price as our prices for this material are typically in the $100ct range for this material and our Russian Grown is more in the ballpark of $200/ct but in much smaller sizes. We can provide info on the standard retail pricing seen out there and can point you to the business where the retail is $495/ct and this is typically what you would expect in a retail setting. Our price for this US Faceted Gemstone is ONLY $100/ct. $959 (atg-23-01)

Faceted Synthetic/Lab Grown Alexandrite from All That Glitters rough and faceted by the owner of All That Glitters. This beauty sparkles and delights your eyes! A square portuguese cut weighing 28.47cts, this particular design provides lots of brilliance and the colors seen are wild - body colors of strawberry, neon pink, purple, pink and highlights of teal, blue, pink, lilac and a pinkish coral color. A must see. All That Glitters pricing on gems cannot be matched! Here is a case where the retail price for Synthetic Alexandrite is $495/ct - that's not our price as our prices for this material are typically in the $100ct range for this material and our Russian Grown is more in the ballpark of $200/ct but in much smaller sizes. We can provide info on the standard retail pricing seen out there and can point you to the business where the retail is $495/ct and this is typically what you would expect in a retail setting. Our price for this US Faceted Gemstone is ONLY $100/ct due to the weight - trying to make this attractive as possible, but this gem speaks for itself and doesn't need to be disounted! $2,847 (atg-22-02)

synthetic alexandrite faceted - laser rod material

16.51ct Lab Grown Alexandrite (U.S. Grown as laser rod material for the cosmetic industry) faceted by the owner of All That Glitters. Color change is royal purple with teal highlights and sometimes peach, to pinkish purple with teal highlights to bright reddish pink. Under our office fluorescent ilghts, it is a rich Amethyst color with interesting bluish flashes. We saw this particular cutting design in a Tanzanite and thought it would look super in our Lab Grown Alexandrite - and we were right! Photographed in a light box with various lights. Measures approximately 16x13mm. (atg-22-01) $1,975

Currently still in the possession of our Speciality Cutter, this Hand Grooved Blended Ametrine Beauty weighs about 42cts and was produced from our rough which we hand-select from the only true Ametrine producing mine in the world. The owner of the mine reaches out to us when special rough becomes available and we then select what we think will produce something special - and most times, we do obtain a wonderful aesthetically pleasing gemstone such as this one! The center is reminscient of a snowflake, and like a snowflake that disappears in a short time frame, this incredible piece might not last long either, so reach out now and ensure this is yours if you think, as we do, what a great design, color separation as well as blending of colors! Available now - Reach out to us for a price if you are interested. Like much of the All That Glitters inventory, this is a one-of-a-kind piece and once gone, something similar will not be available.

Purchased years ago when available, these Crystal Clear Quartz Bullets contain Fine Rutile Needles. These were hand selected from a parcel for their water clear properties and interesting/aesthetically pleasing needles! Not common to have the Quartz so clear and these shape lend themselves to wonderful and sometime uniquely designed pendants, though most are simple and just capped in gold or silver. (mcm-92-01p)
Small: 13.15cts $119
Smoky: 15.87ct $143
Large: 26.83ct $242

Somewhere along the way, this interesting gem was deleted from our website - but it has recently been rediscovered and being offered at an even lower price. This is a Bluish YAG grown in a laboratory in Russia many years ago and the rough was discovered stashed away - the owner of All That Glitters faceted a sample of this rough, and it produced this 8.08ct Tapered Baquette seen here. Only $250 including Shipping/Full Insurance - Sorry, we will only ship in the U.S. for this price, but if interested, it will cost another $30 for shipping internationally (USPS International Priority). (abltv-17-01nr) Note that the time it took to facet this and the cost of the rough actually cost $250 and this gem can now be had for only $250 including shipping and insurance. Another ATG Give-a-Way.

Found buried in our vaults are a few Watermelon Tourmaline Slices that we purchased while treking through Brasil years ago. These were very popular at shows that were opened to the public and we were even setting this pieces into custom pendants. This piece weighs 7.54cts and is price at only $200 - still in the ball park of what they were selling for all those years ago! (Color rendition varies depending on what device one is viewing photos/videos on - the center of this slice is a very bright pink!)

8.41ct Crystal Clear Quartz with Very Large Golden Rutile Needles!(Brasilian) From a specific find back in the 1980s - we were told that Cartiers in London were extending the internal Rutile Needles with Gold and terminating them with precious gems at the time. Wonderful for a collection or to set into a pendant, pin or even a ring. (sbg-10) $225

Clear Natural Quartz with Epidote Crystals Growing at the same time during formation of the Quartz! Selected for design, color and aesthetic beauty. Looked at hundreds and chose only 4 pieces! From the standpoint of making money (the time spent and the few dollars per gemstone that will be profit), this is a loss. It is so easy to get wrapped up in seeking out fine examples of something that is unique and different that the time flies and being paid for ones investment of time is of little importance. The goal is to find that really interesting piece IF it exists. Only $15/ct for these Hand Selected Best Pieces Available!.

14.31ct Fancy Triangle (vstgm-10-01a) $215

24.87ct Cab (vstgm-10-01b) $373

34.41ct Fancy Cushion w/flat bottom (vstgm-10-01c) $516

One of our Blended Ametrines Hand Grooved by one of our Specialty Cutters. Weighs 31.55cts and is an interesting shape for a pendant or other piece of jewelry. Still in the possession of our cutter - as he is cutting some more of our rough. Reach out to us for a price if you are interested. Like much of the All That Glitters inventory, this is a one-of-a-kind piece and once gone, something similar will not be available.

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.

Crucible from the McCoy Gold and Silver Mine

While in the area of Gold Country in CA a few years back, we had the good fortune to stumble upon some mining memorabilia, which is easier said than done, as out west these items are VERY collectible and have high values associated with them. We purchased a crucible which originated at the McCoy Gold and Silver Mine in Nevada. This item is great for a curio cabinet, a shelf, etc. and represent the long ago wild west where mining was actively producing precious metals of gold and silver. The crucible stands about 4" high and since it was actually used, there are flow lines of flux and other things on the sides, including a few small chips on the rim which is to be expected. The flow lines make the item more interesting and add character. The estimate of the age is most likely about the 1920 timeframe. Priced to move at only $120 including Free shipping and insurance (a $30 value!). Note - U.S. Shipping Only; Inquire for International Shipping.

Parcel of Australian Sapphire
May be purchased separately by the public.

We purchased a parcel of Australian Parti-Colored Sapphire Rough in the past and had it cut. We recently found it inside our vault and thought we should offer it up to stores, goldsmiths and the public. The rough was a a glowing blue when illuminated. When faceted and with the size obtained, the material was on the dark side. A few pieces look black - though if illuminated from the back, that beautiful glowing blue can be seen. We haven't tried to heat this material, but it could lighten the material making this a bonanza depending on what colors/lightening has occurred. Some Australian Sapphire will lighten with heat; others won't. We don't know if this will lighten with heat and just state that heat can lighten darker Sapphires.
This parcel consists of 16 faceted pieces weighing approx 46.4cts. Colors range as you can see, there is an evident parti-colored piece, some greens, some deep navy blues, some blue greens, some dark peacock blues, one that seems to have zoning (could possibly dissipate with heating), etc. Many retail customers seek those deeply saturated Sapphires that remind them of grandmothers Sapphire ring. Unfortunately, this is a hefty loss for us when the cost of the rough, cost of the cutting, cost of the shipping/insurance, etc. is calculated and one considers the price per carat we are asking. The price per carat for any of these Sapphires is only $300/ct. (ogm-07-01p)

Below are the approx weights/dimensions. The video was shot under bright lights in a light box specifically made for doing photography/videos of gemstones/jewelry.

5.86ct Color Shifting YAG (Yytrium Aluminum Garnet, Lab Grown, Synthetic) from Russia - said to be grown 40 to 50 years ago. We saw this material in the rough and had to have it! Russia was known for growing unique crystals and attempting to do various research to create new products for various applications, many were defense and space related. Some of these crystal experiments were some times very few batches of a particular run and were never produced again. This could be one of those cases. What the original intent, desired outcome and final application, this is lost to history and currently unknown. This material goes from sort of a smoky orange to a golden green or khaki green color. Measures 9 mm square and is well faceted by our Cutters from the rough. A brilliant/sparkly gem! (exomin-13a-1a) $360

bicolor tourmaline crystal specimen, mogok, burma

Found in our vaults after 32 years, this parcel of London Blue Topaz has all kinds of shapes as well as weights, averaging 1.67cts. Something for everyone and at $50/ct - it won't break the bank. Tell us what you need and we will see if we can find it within the parcel, or perhaps you already have seen your gemstone in the video - Let Us Know! (gemunl-89-02)

12.47ct Blue Flash Amethyst off the dop at All That Glitters. Deep rich bluish purple in a unique shape, which is not quite an oval and not quite a marquise! Great for a pendant or ring. While removing it from the dop which held the gemstone in place with epoxy, a small chip developed on the keel line (very bottom), This cannot be seen from the top or through the table and is not a problem. The color is richer/deeper in person without the lights of the lightbox and the white background, and one cannot see the back of the gem through the table but will see flashes of color eminating from deep down! Specially priced at $811 (afgm-19-01g

An incredibly Beautiful Cluster of Burmese Bi-Color Tourmaline on quartz matrix. One can even see a terminated Quartz Crystal in the photo on the left. Burmese gemstones and mineral specimens are HIGHLY sought around the world and prices have and will be constantly going up. This particular piece literally came from Mogok, a well known and famous gemstone/mineral producing area! (mogok-14-01) $2525
Because this was a Burmese piece, we asked one of our associates/friends his thoughts about this specimen: "The piece from Burma is atypical and nice... It is nice, and Burmese stuff is pretty hard to find at a decent price and probably should be bought whenever reasonable." His forte is larger more costly pieces in the tens of thousands of dollars - if this were slightly larger, this would be associated with those figures! Fits in the palm of one's hand and is probably about 2" or so.

One of our customers of 40+ years has created a custom ring for an All That Glitters Malaia Garnet purchased earlier. Using the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase, she searched for a setting that would accommodate the shape/dimensions of her gemstone, chose Rose Gold, 14kt and within less than two weeks, her Malaia Garnet was set and being worn and admired by not only her, but all those who saw she was wearing it. (Like many gemstones, this was a gem that was in our vaults and hadn't seen the light of day for about 27 years - but this beauty was photographed and available on our website, destined to be placed into a unique and beautiful setting! Any of our customers can do similar designing by themselves too - just choose an All That Glitters Gemstone, obtain the dimensions and use the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase link to find the setting that appeals to you - many choices of gold as well as platinum are available, with or without diamonds or perhaps other accent gemstones OR design something based on something you have admired previously or create something entirely original!

Video Added and Description Updated!

5.72ct Orangy Mahenge Garnet, Square Cushion, U.S. Faceted - some inclusions (very small pinpoints which might turn out to be platelets, which have been seen in similary colored Garnets in Africa/Madagascar, including the Imperial Malaia Garnet that the owner of All That Glitters named and submitted to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) for study - appearing in Gems and Gemology Magazine) but not noticeable to the naked eye due to the incredible sparkle, polish and brilliance! The orange Mahenge is not common, nor is this size. Would describe the color as orangy, perhaps smoky orange under fluorescent light, but more pink under incandescent light - so some color shifting will be seen, which is another interesting feature of this gemstones! $3,718 (ctmc-17a-01b)

14.62ct Barion Shield Amethyst, origin is the Congo. Faceted in the U.S. Purple with hints of blue. Measures approx 17.0x14.4mm (afgm-19-01f) $975

Here is an oldie but goody and this stone has a similar one associated with it and could be used as a pair of earrings (the one not pictured weighs 2.35cts and differs in dimension ever so slightly, but fine for earrings). This clear stubby pear-shaped 2.68ct Tourmaline hails from Brazil. It was faceted by a Brazilian Cutter (young woman) who was living in LA at the time in the 1980s. Very white, clear, brilliant, clean - something different. (ncco-90-03e) $539.

Large 8.14ct Moonstone with decently centered Blue Sheen!! Measures approx. 15x8x9mm; high dome. This is the largest piece of only 5 pieces of larger material we hand-picked from a large parcel when traveling internationally on a gem buying expedition almost 6 years ago. Since it has been years, pricing in trade shows has been going up. We have not changed our prices since these Blue Sheen Moonstones were priced!.... (egaj-15-53) $160/ct - $1300.
Pricing Update - Tucson 2020, AGTA Show Wholesale Pricing seen for 2.80ct Marquise, $200/ct!...
Photo taken several feet from a window, no overhead lighting and overcast outside.
You can see the reflection of the window on the surface of the Moonstone!
There are a few inclusions off to the side and running the correct way so as not to be seen from the top. Can be seen from the side, but perhaps remedied depending on how it is set (bezel set?). Priced to move when compared to what the trade is paying in Tucson... Personally, it seems high but the demand for this material over the past 10 years has been high! (Similar to Grey Spinel in demand and therefore, pricing)

Agate from Indonesia with Rare Ying Yang Naturally Occurring Design! We found our first Natural Ying Yang Agate a few years ago and it sold immediately. We contacted our associate outside of the U.S. to see if he had more of this material. He did, but the price was about ten times what we had paid previously. We searched for this material in Thailand and Sri Lanka but to no avail. After a year of searching, we found a person who had several pieces that he had collected and the price was fair. We choose the best that was available and you can see those three pieces below... The Auction piece below sold for many times above the price on our hand-selected pieces below - though it was heavier being about twice the weight of our larger piece. Though the auction piece was large, setting a larger piece will have limited use in jewelry and cost more to set. It is also possible that though much heavier, it was just thicker and not far off in the diameter - in which case, you would be paying far more due to the carat weight and not the actual diameter, so the better buy could be the one that weighs and costs less!

A	B
A - 9.90ct (trk-12-01b) $250
B - 12.96cts (trk-12-01a) $300

Found this in the vault recently and thought we would post as these are great inexpensive pieces and also unique and interesting; we haven't seen this material on the market for about 20 years!)

These have been in our vault for over 10 years without being offered to the public or trade. We have seen a copy of a cert from GIA indicating the natural origin but that they were enhanced. At that time, there was no indication as to what the enhancement was; recently, we have been told that it was some form of diffusion - so natural Sapphire, but diffused creating the sharper star. Super pieces and at a fraction of the cost of what the entirely natural material would be. From left to right, the weights are as follows: 2.63cts, 2.83cts, 2.94cts and 4.43cts. (vista-04-01p) $100/ct
The pair in the center (2nd and 3rd from the left), have been sold to a store!)
Still available, the 2.63ct and the 4.43ct - note that both measure approx 10x8mm, as one has a slightly higher dome than the other. Easily set into any standard setting requiring a 10x8mm oval!





An Incredibly Beautiful Precision Cut 8.47ct Oregon Sunstone faceted by the Owner of All That Glitters - L. Allen Brown. Rough hails from the famous Dust Devil Mine. Initial 36+ct piece of rough was trimmed and preformed (yield was 23% - typical expectation is only 20%) - see image below. Body color seemed to be clear to the standard champagne frequently seen from this locality. There was a spot of color to the side - and depending on the axis it was viewed on, it was either a green or a blush color, due to the fact that Sunstone is dichroic and one can frequently expect to see a red or green from this locality depending on how it is viewed. There was some haziness perhaps around this color zone, possibly being some Copper Schiller, but it wasn't obvious. As the gemstone was being faceted, at the prepolish stage, one could see that Schiller was definitely present and it was unknown if this would be a plus or perhaps running across the gem in a way that would hinder the brilliance and interfer with the beauty of the finished gem. After the final polish and soaking off the dopping material, the finished gemstone is incredibly beautiful and brilliant. Many surprises are present - the body color seems to be Champagne but because of that small color dot on the side, one can see Green as well as some Blush, and possibly a Copper color coming from the Schiller(??). The gem seems to color shift depending on the lights, going from various body colors - under office fluorescent lights, it appears to be a yellow green, but one can see more of a blush or even beige under different lights/wavelengths. Whatever light it is under, the 100k Diamond Polish displays a mirror-like surface and it is very brilliant - as it is turned/tilted, various colors flash around this piece. Though it has Schiller, it is hidden at the angle at which it grew, with respect to the table. This is one of those gemstones that one must see in person and under various lights as the photo and the video just doesn't do the various colors justice as the eye sees something far more interesting than what the camera has captured! Shape is a Shield with a Brilliant bottom which is why it sparkles so much. Thanks to Peter Torraca for providing the design. Photos displayed here include the finished gemstone; the video; the rough; beginning to facet the crown; initial crown facets are roughed in; and pre-polish is complete and schiller can be seen under the bright light. (dd-21-01a) $1,270


A nice very Bright Yellow Zircon faceted from our rough, weighing in at 10.97 carats and measuring about 16x12mm. Price is $100/carat. (jeg-18-01b)


8.71 carat Orange Zircon from our rough measuring approx 12x10mm. Photo was modified a bit to tone down the orange as the camera photographed a much more intense Orange. This is an interesting unique color orange and hard to describe. Reminiscent of the colors of Autumn in New England! Priced at $100/ct. (jeg-18-01a)

Large Light Yellow OREGON Sunstone weighing 35.42cts and measuring 26.1x25.5x11.1mm! Hand Grooved by one of our expert cutters using this technique. This gemstone has been in a cutters possession for 2.5 years... The first well known multi-award winning cutter indicated this this piece and another important OR Sunstone would be completed in about 6 months - but after hearing that he was going to start it shortly, numerous times over a two year timeframe, we called for it back in November of 2020 and it was sent to one of his previous students who is now creating wonderful pieces himself. After another 6 months of waiting, this beauty came back. Worth the wait - a complicated piece that also incorporates an optical dish/bubble in the center. Note that the rough was a light yellow but in the very center was a light blush color. This can be still seen, but it is faint - the design in the very center varies from the surrounding area and attempts to accent and delineate this blush color. As in many gems, a slight difference in light will cause a shift in color as can be seen between the photo and the video. The Wholesale Guide for Oregon Sunstone, 2016, shows a Champagne Color selling at $100/ct for 20+cts. Champagne is the term some of the miners/dealers call the light yellow. Note that this price of $100/ct is for standard flat faceting - NOT fancy cutting as in the case of this piece. Unique cutting, concaving, grooving, sculpting, carving, etc. is much more. Only $120/ct - $4,250. (demc-18-01)

Screen Grab below is from Wholesale Guide Specifically for Oregon Sunstone (2016 edition) showing added value for specialty cutting - "Carvings are priced at 50% to 80% of the above pricing grid. Variables include color, size, intricacy of carving and artist"

Large Orangy Copper Colored OREGON Sunstone weighing 38.35cts and measuring 35.4x13.0x9.6mm! Hand Grooved by one of our expert cutters using this technique. This gemstone has been in a cutters possession for 2.5 years... The first well known multi-award winning cutter indicated this this piece and another important OR Sunstone would be completed in about 6 months - but after hearing that he was going to start it shortly, numerous times over a two year timeframe, we called for it back in November of 2020 and it was sent to one of his previous students who is now creating wonderful pieces himself. A slightly sleepy stone possibly due to fine schiller; as it is tilted under lights, there will be glints of schilller noted as seen in the photo - parallel bands can be seen as this gem rotates in the video. The original piece of rough, like many Oregon Sunstones, had a clear rind, with a bit of green, going to the copper/orangy color. One can see some clear or very light green when the stone is tilted and at the right angle; otherwise, face up it is that familiar color of copper or orange that many know as Oregon Sunstone! For someone who wants a Large Oregon Sunstone, in an interesting shape and that has been faceted and grooved for uniqueness - and at an incredibly good price, this fits the bill and more! The Wholesale Guide for Oregon Sunstone, 2016, shows this color with schiller selling at $100/ct to $150+/ct for 20+cts. Note that this price is for standard flat faceting - NOT fancy cutting as in the case of this piece. Unique cutting, concaving, grooving, sculpting, carving, etc. is much more. Though this rough was costly as well as the special custom cutting, we can provide a wonderful price on this piece. Also, we obtained a verbal price of approx $150/ct wholesale from two different people who own claims and mine Sunstone. Priced at only $150/ct - $5,753. (demc-18-02)


After a month of cutting, pre-polishing and polishing, the owner of All That Glitters has completed faceting another interesting Blended Ametrine; this one is an 11.63ct Fancy Oval which is predominately Purple, but with splashes of Yellow/Gold as well as flashes of Bronze! Measures approx 19.3x12.8x10.5mm. (ajml-19-01d) $930

When the owner of All That Glitters saw this Topaz, it was a MUST HAVE for inventory. This 3.86ct Cushion comes from the famous Ouro Preto Imperial Topaz deposit in Minas Gerais, Brasil. While traveling in Brasil in the past, the owner of All That Glitters visited Ouro Preto more than once and also had a tour of the gold mine in the adjacent town of Mariana. This particuar Topaz has numerous colors including pink, orange, salmon, champagne, etc. There are a few fine needles deep in the gemstone and this is an indication that the color is natural and not heated. Some of the Topaz from this location will be heated to obtain the much more expensive pink color. In this case, it was decided to leave it entirely natural and with the lovely color as it came out of the ground, there was really no need to consider enhancement of any kind. Depending on the lights, one might see one predominant color over another and under more than one light source, many colors could be seen at the same time! Some of the Topaz from this location will be heated to obtain the much more expensive pink color. In this case, it was decided to leave it entirely natural and with the lovely color as it came out of the ground, there was absolutely no need to consider enhancement of any kind. A fine color, large, brilliant, natural Topaz, it is a pleasure to view this piece for those who like this color and appreciate a fine Topaz. The color has a Padparadscha feel to it and is not the typical yellow or orangy color typically found - that being said, even a nice orange is not common, especially in larger sizes. (ramcam-19-02) $6,562

How Uncommon are the Really Fine Colors of Imperial Topaz?
Well, in 41 years in the business, we have only had a total of 3 exceptional pieces. All three had different colors...
1.) The one pictured above
2.) A Flame Shaped Topaz that was a collaboration with Award Winning Goldsmith Derek Katzenbach, where we created a beautiful pendant with Natural Sapphires that mimiced the colors seen in the Topaz - reds, oranges, yellows, apricots, etc! The pendant was entered in to the AGTA Spectrum Awards in 2018, and was named "Fall in New England". "Inspired by the Changing Leaves and the Masterful Color Display in Nature", the Topaz as well as the 131 multi-colored fall-like colors of the Saphhire is something that must be seen as photos cannot capture the brilliance, sparkle, true colors and magnificence of the piece!
3.) A 7ct Elongated Orange Oval bought in the 1980s and sold years later to Victor Mueller from the Shop at Home TV Show.

Incredible Blue Tourmaline from Brasil - This is what INDICOLITE should look like!

2.89ct Oval Blue Tourmaline Oval (vstgm-10-03a) $3,468
Color is reminiscent of our Super Blue Zircon!
The color is incredible!
(A similarly colored matched pair was sold to a dealer in Slovakia for a special project!)

Three very fine opals just back from the cutter. Really nice play of color. Largest one is a tapered oval/modified pear and measures about 12mmx7mm. Rounds are uncommon, but there is one here. The smallest one has some matrix and undercutting in one area on the edge which can be seen if viewed from the side. Setting in a in a bezel or perhaps putting a prong in that area, will resolve the issue. Color is great as is the price. Parcel weighs 2.23cts - $625 (akgje-13-01bp)
Opal is tricky when cutting from the rough and we thought we would obtain two very large and fine pieces. Unfortunately, we got much smaller pieces but still of very fine quality. We lost our shirt as they say on the rough because we didn't obtain the number and size hoped for...but what we did obtain, we are offering at a great price!
Video shot under relatively dim office fluorescent lights and doesn't show these pieces to their best advantage. In fact, the camera is blocking the light right about the Opals! If they look decent under these conditions, imagine what they would look like under proper lights or when being worn in jewelry! Photo was shot under the proper lights.

54.42ct Oval and 4.27ct Oval - rough came from the Famous Cruzeiro Mine. Color is frequently called Ouro Verde (irradiated like most of the fancy colors once sees on the market); these two are a Very Vivid Lemon with a touch of Green. Very bright and lively. The smaller measures approx. 12x9mm and the large one is a whopping 29x21mm! We had these cut from the rough - the cost to facet large gemstones (even Quartz) is quite costly and therefore at the price per carat we are charging, the large piece is really worthwhile... $20 per carat for either gemstone - if you purchase both, Only $15/ct. Contact us and indicate which one(s) you would like. (nevst-05-01bz)

A fairly large nice Pyrite specimen on matrix from Spain. This is only one angle and there are other Pyrite crystals on the other side. A great piece for one's collection! (pdv-15-10) $849

Nice Pyrite Specimens from Spain can be very costly depending on the size of the cubes, the complexity, aesthetic beauty, etc. This specimen was chosen by the owner of All That Glitters after having first pick of a group of fine specimens just in - as he has known those who obtain these piece directly from the mine over the past few decades. This piece was chosen for all the right reasons! If you click on the following link, you can view a similar piece which came up to auction and had a selling estimate of $8,000 - $12,000. As always, we offer you quality at low prices because of our 41 years in the trade, our knowlege and access to items through our contacts, so no need to spend thousands for a Fine Pyrite Specimen from Spain! Of course, the one at auction has a custom lucite stand, which we will gladly have made for you at a great price, and we won't change you an extra $7,000 to $11,000 more.... Pyrite Auction Specimen

People are saying WOW! when they see the photo/video of this wonderful 24.38ct Precision Faceted Ametrine Fancy Oval, completed by the owner of All That Glitters. As is all of our Specialty Ametrine Rough, it is hand selected personally by the mine owner specifically for All That Glitters - and Ok'd via photos and information provided. This particular piece took just under 40 hours in total to complete, not including the approx. 4 hours to capture both the photos and video, do the cropping, compresssion and other things in order to have the images/video appear on this website/online. As someone noted, and this isn't the first time, we can't make our money back on the time spent - though if we have a retail shop and marked it up accordingly, that would be easily possible. We have screen grabs for far more costly Ametrines on a per carat basis, and the saturation of color is lighter and the beauty of the gems is just not there. Selling at a great price for the size, precision cutting, color blending, etc. this is only $1,950. To make purchasing easy, we have provided a link to this item in our Square account, so payment by credit card can be fast and easy! We typically don't measure gemstones as most stores/goldsmiths work with whatever the dimensions are as they are buying the gemstone based on beauty and not size, but we did measure this and it is approximately 21.7x15.5x14.8mm (ajml-19-01p)

*** Choose a Gemstone from All That Glitters Case #19! ***

Unfortunately, the colors do not display as vibrantly as they are in person, nor does one get to see the sparkle/brilliance that these gemstones have. The Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl and Blue Star Sapphire, require overhead lights such as incandescents in order to see their phenomenon properly and to full effect - but they were chosen for their color, clarity and phenomenon when purchased for the addition in to the All That Glitters Inventory!

*** Choose a Gemstone from All That Glitters Case #20! ***

How to Read the Above List - It is a matrix; the first item in the list represents the gemstone in the upper left hand corner; the list information goes from left to right in the photo as one moves down the list. Each row has 5 gemstones and there are 3 rows. The location number indicates where in the case that particular gemstone is to be found. For example, location #20/3,3, indicates row 3/column 3 - in this case, it is a Corundum, specifically a Blue Sapphire (Trilliant) with Flashes of Green! A shame that not every gemstone can be captured perfectly when shooting, as the brilliance may not show if it is just tilted slightly, and one cannot truly see the high polish on these gems...of course, color rendition due to the codecs being used on all the different portable devices makes it diffficult for true color reproduction as the eye actually sees...(#20 is a case/box number)



Very large 6.93ct Neony Green Grossular Garnet, faceted in the U.S. from All That Glitters rough, by one of our talented and wonderful cutters. Bright lively gem with hints of dispersion. As expected in this size, there are some small inclusions that can be seen with a loupe, but a plus to indicate natural origin as this large size is not often seen and anything indicating natural crystal growth will be a help in identification. Has a 'glow' which is unexpected for this Garnet Group. Though this comes from the same area as Mint Merelani Garnet (Grossular), a relative of Tsavorite, the brightness and glow is very unlike the typical Mint Merelani as that more common material doesn't necessarily glow like this does. The Garnet Group is very complex and perhaps this has a larger percentage of some element - or perhaps this could even be a new type of Garnet or oddity. This was a difficult gemstone to photograph and to obtain an accurate color. On our laptop monitor, we have an accurate color; with so many devices now displaying images, accurate color is a problem since screens are not calibrated. The photos do not do this gemstone justice as the color is not exactly accurate - there is very little one can do if the photo or video just doesn't show that "pop" that one sees in person. The video color is certainly not close to the color the eye sees - and the true brilliance/sparkle as well as dispersion is not captured, but it goes give an idea of what the gem looks like to some extent. Have recently seen a 1.6+ct round, without the glowing green this gem has, and the retail on it was approximately $2500/ct. A slightly larger than one carat was seen in Tucson (2019) with a wholesale price of $1,500/ct; with this being such a large example of this gemstone species, you will be surprised at our low pricing of $10,349 - which is only $1,500/ct! We would like to increase the price of this as we cannot replace this size, color, cutting, etc. at our current price. (vyg-19-03)

While going through our vault, we found this Ruby that had never been photographed though it has been in inventory for a quarter of a century! This is one of a few pieces that we bought from one dealer and the gems had an IGI cert along with a micro-fiche of the cert. Unfortunately, though we were supposed to have received the cert/microfiche after the purchase, we never did receive it. The other pieces were all certed as natural corundum (Ruby) and unheated. The color of this piece is a nice rich red, and some would call it pigeon blood red. Just looking at it screams Ruby if you're familiar with this gemstone. We had hoped to obtain a better photo, but capturing the true color of Ruby has always been difficult, and we just weren't able to take a crisp photo. You have our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee as well as our Life Time Guarantee - which you can find more info on our Policies page. This piece measures approximately 5.22x4.44mm and weighs 0.76cts - so essentially a 3/4ct Ruby. This would make a wonderful ring or pendant. (mcm-96-04) $2,432


This 11.45ct Ametrine is a very pleasing pear variant and was faceted by the owner of All That Glitters. As usual, the All That Glitters Ametrine Rough is chosen for the natural unique color variations that can exist in this material and hand chosen by the mine owner per our specifications and destined for All That Glitters. A beautiful mix of Purple, Yellow, Gold, Bronze and Rose. A clean gem but unfortunately, with dust as well as some very small spots of dopping material on the pavilion that can't be see with one's eyes, but in close up photography it can be seen for the time being. ajml-19-01c) $800


A nice 18.30ct precision cut fan in Ametrine, faceted by the owner of All That Glitters. A nice size for a pendant or ring and certainly a unique shape. We can easily see this set as a pendant on a string of pearls - and pearls will be in for this year due to the fact that is was noted numerous times that VP Harris was wearing pearls at the inauguration. Barbara Bush was also a fan of pearls and was frequently seen wearing them for many an occasion. One can liven up a string of pearls with color, and this unique shape with flashes of purple, yellow, gold, blush, rose and bronze will certainly do that! (ajml-19-01n) $1,281

Oregon Sunstone, Hand Grooved in the U.S. weighing 5.97cts in an interesting elongated octagon shape. Color is bright orange red to more red under incandescent light. Copper schiller can be seen when at the right angle. A unique piece all around. (demco-20-01b) $1,339


A wonderful uniquely shaped Oregon Sunstone weighing 7.61cts, which we would call a Spear Point. Hand Grooved by one of our U.S. Lapidary Experts. Very center is red, going to a more subdued copper, with some green on the outside edge as well as clear. We can see this as a very beautiful custom pendant! (demco-20-01g) $1,712


This 16.76ct is the largest faceted/grooved Oregon Sunstone we have had in the All That Glitters inventory in 41 years, and like all of our Oregon Sunstone, it was faceted from All That Glitters hand-chosen rough. Hand Grooved by our U.S. cutter specializing in this cutting style. Color could be described as a cinnamon with orange and red highlights under incandescent light. Has some schiller in the very center and one on the side, as can be seen in the video, but for the most part it is not visible when looking down at the table. (demco-20-01h) $3,352



Our second and last Danburite faceted by the owner of All That Glitters, from one crystal. Rough originated in Mexico, which is known for the clear/white variety. Crystal clear, clean as a whistle. A Real Brilliant Sparkler - the colors seen in the photo and video are Dispersion/Fire, a physical property of Danburite that is splitting the white light into its colored components. A large gemstone for this species. Priced at the wholesale price that we found on line. This is the last of the Danburite to be cut. Danburite was named after the town where it was first located/found - Danbury, CT! (atg-20-03) $100/ct

43.86ct California Kunzite, Oceanview Mine, Big Kahuna Zone approx late 2010
(3rd gemstone from an unique bi-color crystal!)

A 43.86ct Natural Kunzite from the Oceanview Mine in California, faceted by our Award Winning Supreme Master Gemcutter (Stephen Kotlowski). The color can range from a lilac to pink depending on lights. The cutting style is a one of a kind creation in a kite shape. The optical effects draw the viewer in from the edges to the center in a step like fashion. 23.75x22.55x15.83mm (ovml-12-03c) $200/ct

The above price is the wholesale price seen in Tucson 2012 at the GJX Show, International Section, by Brasilians selling a fairly deep pink Kunzite faceted (as well as in the rough). Their material was irradiated - our California Kunzite is entirely natural!

The All That Glitters Kunzite has:

better color in this size
is Natural - not irradiated
will save the buyer about $8,000 based on a 60ct sized Brasilian gemstone required to give the same depth of color
is from the United States having come from a famous California mine
from a rich well know pocket within the above mine
was faceted by our Award Winning Master Cutter (Stephen Kotlowski) where every facet junction meets perfectly



A 12.79ct Synthetic Alexandrite in a design called - Capital Dome, and faceted by the owner of All That Glitters. This design has a nice facet arrangement especially on the crown and is very brilliant, catching even low level light. Created with a thicker girdle on this particular one. A sparkler with a high polish, showing a body color of purple in diffused daylight, with flashes of teal and peach; under fluorescent light, one sees a variation of purple/pink with highlights of peach. Fingerprint inclusion on one side, but have only seen it under bright illumination and under magnification - doesn't affect anything. Unforunately, the camera cannot capture all the various colors or the brilliance/sparkle that the eye sees. Priced about 80% below the retail price of Syn Alex (which iss $495/ct from the major supplier in the U.S.), as we sell at the best price possible, purchase the costly rough directly from the lab which grows it (a 6 month timeframe?) and the owner of All That Glitters performs the custom faceting or it is sent out to be faceted by other competent facetors. This is the only synthetic that we carry as stores really find that the public enjoys this interesting/fascinating material! Second photo shows the first set of pavilion facets as well as the girdle facets having been completed. (Total number of facets for this design is 81; by the time it is completed, the cutter has visited and worked on 400 facets, roughing it in, going to finer laps, pre-polish, final polish, etc.) (atg-20-01) $1598




Finished and off the dop, a 8.66ct Danburite, faceted by the owner of All That Glitters. Rough originated in Mexico, which is known for the clear/white variety. Crystal clear, clean as a whistle. Photos show the trimmed crystal on the dop as well as starting to put in the pavilion facets where a wonderful snowflake etching could be seen and is highlighted in the last photo. Enjoy! (atg-20-02) $650 including Shipping/Full Insurance. (Yes, from the info above as well as the fact that this was faceted in the U.S., the price is a give-a-way for such a large, water clear, clean beautiful Danburite!!!! All That Glitters Pricing Below Wholesale as Usual!) Pricing was found online. We have matched pair of clear Danburites, concave cut, purchased a number of years back while traveling abroad buying rough/gems. They were the first Danburites All That Glitters purchased in our 40 year history. Many of our cutter friends had mentioned how lively the material can be and how popular it was amongst some...)

Sharing a Custom Made Pendant that All That Glitters had been creating over the past few months. Customer had bought a custom Aquamarine from us, faceted in the U.S. from All That Glitters rough.

Photos show the actual piece as well as the CAD rendering which the customer OK'd prior to continuing to manufacture/set the piece.
