Lab Grown/Synthetic Alexandrite
(Czochralski Pull Method)
In the past, it would take a few years for the lab we were working with to have a pull that they would sell us.
Unforunately, after the last purchase, we were told that they would no longer sell any of their U.S. Lab Grown Crystals outside of their lab.
Therefore, this is most likely the last rough of Lab Grown Alexandrite that we can offer our customers after doing so for perhaps 25 years....
All those purchasing this rough in the past have been very happy and repeat customers - and we have been told that we had a great price on this material too!
Chrome YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet)
(Czochralski Pull Method)
Two Crystals of Beautiful Chrome YAG have both been sliced and then trimmed to
create smaller pieces for sale.
The U.S. Lab where we had purchased this material has indicated in the past that they would no longer be selling any material outside the lab,
therefore, this will be the last of the YAG that we will most likely offer to our previous rough purchasing customers...
CTH YAG (Chromium, Thulium and Holmium)
(Czochralski Pull Method)
A large 1.5kg CTH YAG Crystal came into the All That Glitters Inventory - and we have sliced
it, creating four nice slices. One slice is available as is for purchase and three have been
trimmed to provide smaller pieces. The larger untrimmed slice is great for those who wish to trim as they wish.
The U.S. Lab where we had purchased this material has indicated in the past that they would no longer be selling any material outside the lab,
therefore, this will be the last of the YAG that we will most likely offer to our previous rough purchasing customers...
Umbalite (Tanzania) - Color Shifting
We have been told that there will be no more Lab Grown Alexandrite, Chromium YAG or CTH YAG in the future...
Due to the above notice from the lab where we have been purchasing our Lab Grown Rough and the fact that it requires intensive work utilizing others to obtain saleable sizes, slicing, cutting, cleaning, weighing, photography, html code generation, we will not be attempting to find a new source and will not be obtaining any new lab grown rough or any new rough not already in the All That Glitters inventory. Therefore, THIS IS THE LAST AND FINAL LAB GROWN MATERIAL THAT WE WILL OFFER IN ROUGH...
