seal with warrior, shield, chariot
Chaledony Seal showing warrior with shield, in a chariot drawn by a pair of horses, with not only the sun in the sky but an Aegean Greek Star - superb image! "Regarding the Aegean Star - typical star displayed in Greece, Alexander The Greats time, mentioned several times in the Trilogy of Alexander the Great written by Maximo Manfredi, an Italian writer/antropologist who wrote three books." Research on line shows a Vergina Sun Symbol, with various number of rays, and also called Macedonian Sun or Argead Star. More research could be done to obtain more info, as two images appear in the sky and one would be the sun and the other perhaps a Star observable during the day due to an astronomic event. Hellenistic Period about 300BC - the time of Alexander the Great. Thought to have originally been part of a pendant. Measures approximately 48x48mm. (ja-19-01) $750

large cylinder seal with hunting scene
large cylinder seal impression showing hunting scene
The largest cylinder seal we have seen, fashioned from Agate and depicts what is believed to be a hunting scene. Said to be from Bactria (Persia), circa 500 BC. Measures 4-1/2 inches high. We actually had to purchase clay to view the scene from this large cylinder but we were not disappointed. There are 3 human figures through the piece, all dressed differently. All appear to be holding weapons, knives, swords or similar. There seems to be deer or a type of antelope, and one image of what appears to be a falcon or other raptor and quite possibly on the arm of the person to its right - therefore, this seems to indicate the raptor is being used to hunt. Also, there is another animal that seems to be a lion, with a mane and long tail, with a paw extended towards a figure to its left who holds a knife. Due to the size of the cylinder, it is very difffult to obtain a crisp image of all the incised areas present, as one must apply the proper pressure, speed, etc. With some time, and some trial and error, one should be able to obtain a nice impression of the whole seal in one roll. The raptor/falcon is more detailed than shown; insufficient pressure was applied to obtain the detail. This is also the case of the lion, but we did press that section into the clay on the bottom and there is a better image of the head but the body/tail is lacking in that impression. Various large images of this cylinder seal may be seen below. After the impression was made in the clay, it was heated, so this hard clay table with the image of this scene will accompany the sale of this special cylinder seal. A Very Rare Piece with a beautiful scene. (ja-19-03) $1,500

Russian skarn plaque front Russian skarn plaque back
Front - Detail/Closeup Back - Detail/Closeup
Wollastonite Skarn from Primorye (Primorsky)Region, Dalnegorsk - Russsia. (Skarn is a metamorphic rock that has been chemically and mineralogically altered by metasomatism. Wollastonite is a common mineral in skarns or contact metamorphic rocks. Skarns can sometimes produce some wonderfully rare and exotic minerals with very unusual chemistries. Wollastonite forms from the interaction of limestones, that contain calcite, CaCO3, with the silica, SiO2, in hot magmas.) The deposit that produced this natural work of art, was said to be active about 41 years ago when this piece was mined/polished. This unique 7"x4.5" plaque is surrounded by a black polished mineral border. The natural design consists of black and what seem like a very light beige to very light green depending on lights. The darker yellow color seen on the left had side is a shadow. Incredibly beautiful and certainly looks like a design that an artist has created, but it is entirely natural - only polished! These uncommonly beautiful natural occurring mineral slices are frequently purchased by collectors due to the designs, colors, etc. and may see very high prices. Like many gemstones, these unique plaques can be very indivualistic and are rarely seen and not often available on the market. In 41 years in the gemstone/mineral business, All That Glitters had never seen an item such as this and the color as well as the design was fascinating enough to be placed into the All That Glitters inventory.

russian ural mountains mineral slab
russian ural mountains mineral slab framed
Russian Mineral Slab most likely from the Ural Mountains, measuring approximately 7-5/8"x5-3/8" - with the frame measuring 10-3/4"x8-1/2". Aesthetically beautiful and entirely natural. Note the incredible symmetry which seems almost too perfect to have been created by nature! This contains Azurite (blue) and some Malachite (green), but the other colors/minerals are currently unknown - the colors blend harmoniously. Excuse the reflections which are present in the photo due to the high gloss of the slab. If you click on the upper image, a larger image will display. This piece of natural artistry is housed in a custom cut/joined frame, matte black, with two borders of a reddish color which pick up the reddish orange in the slab itself - a wonderful marriage of the art and frame! (This piece is ready to hang, having all the hardware/wire on the back) Truly a piece of art that, if more common and available, perhaps some art galleries would hang on their walls. This is a piece of natural art that can grace someones home and one doesn't have to worry about the same issues as a standard piece of art on canvas, paper, etc. (minruss-17-01) $900 (Note that we saw some slabs from Russia in Tucson (2017) of about the same size, housed in a non-custom inexpensive frame from most likely a bargain outlet. The colors were more of the blue/green that are common when one indeed finds a 'similar' item but the symmetry and design was not present. If that particular piece were priced based on retail markups, it would be selling for $1400-$2100. In an email conversation with a well-known on-line auction house, they estimated this piece would sell for between $1000 - $2000, without the frame.)

Iolite Carved Chameleon Weighing 77cts
iolite carved chameleon
iolite carved chameleon iolite carved chameleon
Chameleon carved out of Madagascar Iolite and comes with the base shown. Iolite is trichoic and depending on the orientation of the carving, you will see various colors; the main color is a light purple to bluish purple, and then the expected grey in some areas when looking from the front or from the back of the piece. Unique and shows the trichoic properties of Iolite - far more interesting and shows the skill of the individual who carved it, vs. the cubes of Iolite that one sometimes sees that shows this property. Large photos showing detail are available upon request. (btree-15-01) $675 (That is less than $10 per carat!)
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.

This is Incredibly Rare and One-of-a-Kind Naturally Forming Fossilized material. Found in Indonesia in very limited quantities, it has been identified as being either Bamboo or Reeds (via lab anaylysis), which became fossilized with layers of colorful Agate. When sliced, you can see the original organic living shape of what has become Agatized over millions of years. We have heard they are no longer finding this material, and that it was being found in a volcanic area in Indonesia.
