What is Zincite??

Zincite that most people are familiar with, was said to have been grown by accident in the smoke stack of a manufacturing facility of zinc-based paint in Poland. It is Zinc Oxide and the zinc that had become gaseous during the manufacturing process combined with oxygen and cooled, formed brightly colored, mostly orange, red and yellow crystals within the smoke stack. This brightly colored material has a high dispersion, giving flashes of different colors much like that of diamond. Though it is soft, it can still be used in jewelry, but should be worn in pendants, pins and earrings, rather than rings. We have some of this brightly colored material faceted(ovals, emerald cuts, etc), as well as in the rough. Price is based on size and color - with usually the larger pieces being less per carat.  All pieces are well cut and clean. See photos below for available stones.

This is perhaps the largest faceted Zincite out there - approximately 50cts. 
We obtained a number of crystals years ago, and our cutters 
faceted a few very large pieces.  We know of only one other 
dealer selling this material, but his Zincite is the more 
common orange or reddish orange.  Yellow is more rare 
and they show more dispersion.  This gemstone measures 
approx 20x15x11mm.  We are attaching two photos, one taken 
with a light ring and the other in diffused office  fluorescent lights.
Only one other dealer  possesses faceted Zincite that we are aware of, and he has smaller orange faceted pieces (most common color) which he sells for
more than what we are aksing per carat for this exceptional piece.   Since this could be one of the largest Zincites ever faceted and therefore,  should have a premium price.  
For a fast sale and based on our costs in general, we are offering it at  ONLY $1,249 - less than $25 per carat!.



Light to Medium Yellowish with a hint of Green in the deeper stones. Very Dispersive, more so than Diamond! Bright, lively with all kinds of colors leaping from internally within the gem. Unlike anything we have seen before in this material!....Faceted Zincite of decent size, fine quality faceting, clean material is difficult to find. We know of no other companies currently with Zincite which falls into this category, other than ourselves and again, we have never seen this unique color either. 
Note that the size of the gemstone as it appears in the photograph does not indicate relative size to other photos displayed.

This is a piece of Zincite from the famous Zincite 'accident' in Poland.   This segment, consisting of both orange and greenish yellow cauliflower looking Zincite, had a section of orange growth that we faceted into gemstones.  NOTE THAT THIS PIECE WEIGHS 695 CARATS!!!   If priced at the Tucson Wholesale Prices we saw back in February, this would be selling for about $695.  The All That Glitters price for this unique specimen is only $415.  If you wanted a specimen of Zincite, this should be the one.

  "I have had my zincite for several days, but it always takes me a little while to get a thorough look.  I am delighted with the gem you selected!  My wife even thought it was something special and compared it to some light yellow diamonds we have seen!  I think it has a wonderful "gemmy" clarity, and the cutting seems really well done.  What a delight to receive."

"The zincite is so unique!... Thank you for such an interesting stone to work with, I love collecting the unique."

SS - Lubbock, TX


  "I received the zincite today-- I'd been out of town for Christmas ...and couldn't have asked for a nicer surprise when I unwrapped the stone. It is all you said it was and more-- the color, the quality of the cutting, the personality of the stone, all are excellent. I look forward to doing business with you again soon."

"I just received the Zincite & owahee jasper. I am very happy with the jasper and -- TOTALLY blown away by the  EXCELLENT color and brillance of the Zincite.  I will be telling my lapidary and custom jeweler friends about  ALL THAT GLITTERS.  I also have a few friends who only wear custom made jewelry who I will be telling about  A.T.G.   I will  definately be interested in the Elegante cut Zincite in about 3 months."
