33 Million Year Old Fossils Leaves From Oregon!

Image of full fossil - Approximately 33 Million Years Old	Image of two leaves that appear on the right hand side with scatter Sequoia

Leave that appear on the left hand side of the fossil	Sequoia located in the upper right hand side of the fossil
Collected by the owner of All That Glitters personally and part of his personal collection. Collected in Oregon in 2007 - the 'ranger' in charge of the area indicated that it was one of the best seen from that locality. It shows a few different species of leaves, as well as sequoia. Twigs and other plant matter can be seen. We have seen smaller pieces with just one leaf sell for just under $1000. Price of this beauty is $850! Special for the time being - ONLY $640.

Fossil Leaf uncovered by the owner of All That Glitters in an expedition to the state of Oregon in 2007. The leaf is approximately 33 Million Years Old. Great for a curio cabinet!

Side panels of this box are below:




This piece consists of Onyx, Malachite, Manganese Dentrites within Silicated Rhyolite, Mudstone (?) and ??? There are small hidden magnets within the box that keep the lid safely closed. Note that the design on top hints of a desert-like tree and a landscape scene. The panels on this piece are wonderful in their natural design. Chosen from a large selection for quality, uniquess, color, etc. Like the box above, you might find "similar" boxes, but you won't find designs or one that is as beautiful! Another one of a kind...... Think of the work that has gone into the workmanship that you can see from the photos, not to mention the amount of time required to photograph this piece. This is another wonderful buy from All That Glitters. (amc-04-02) In Private Collection - Available for $575

Three Fluorite Crystal from China. Choosen from a large grouping for color and interest; spent about 30 minutes going through kilos of this material. Color is bluish to teal to green, and some have streaks of purple. For the smaller pieces, we were considering faceting the material since the color is so nice and unusual, but currently, due to numerous business obligations, we just don't have the time...All three for only $40; includes shipping! Great for gifts for children or for the collector.

(Larger photos available upon request) Former All That Glitters Collection ONE OF A KIND - (mfesuk-09-01) $2,575
This one of a kind meteorite originates from a cataclysmic celestial event: the largest meteorite shower in recorded history. A giant fireball approached Earth and streaked over Siberia's Sikhote-Alin Mountains at 10:30 AM on February 12, 1947. Shadows were cast in broad daylight, as it screamed across the sky, making the sun pale in comparison. It violently exploded miles above Earth's surface, sending hot material hurtling in all directions, to be buried into the snowy terrain and sending up plumes of steam. Trees and any other object in the surrounding area were hit as if by a shotgun. No injuries were reported. This incredible sight to behold, now buried beneath snow and time, is represented by those fragments of this celestial event. When unearthed, these fragments from the largest meteorite shower of the past several millennia, are sometimes offered for sale. Depending on the uniqueness of these meteorites, the features that were created during its billion mile journey and entry into the earth’s atmosphere, will determine prices. Regardless of the what other meteorites have to offer, from this site or any other on earth, the fact that this meteorite consists of two pieces that interlock, remain a phenomenon unto itself; a very rare and unique piece not to be passed up.
