| Large Double-Terminated Quartz Crystal with numerous transparent green to blue Tourmaline crystals - approx 6-1/2" high. From the Naipa Mine, Alto Ligonha, Zambezia Province of Mozambique. The first photo shows the two terminations of the Quartz at the top, and a larger photo of this image is available below. Other photos below show the specimen as it is rotated, to show the large number of Tourmalines that are scattered on the surface, with many being able to be seen imbedded in the Quartz itself, and more are probably totally hidden inside. Unsual for such transparent crystals, and the color is also very good from green, to green blue to blue. This piece has a lot of check marks for specimens of Quartz with Tourmaline growing on its surface and internally as the quartz grew around the Tourmaline crystals that were originally on the surface of the Quartz but were engulfed by the Quartz as it grew! (jrod-19-01b) Initial Offering Price of $2,500. |

| Roman Bronze (approx. 300BC). Said to depict Cupid, but posssibly a Roman athlete playing the ball game of Harpastum, as one can clearly see what looks like a ball in the palm of his right hand. Found in Northern Jordan back in the 1980s along with some other small bronzes. Measures 4-1/2 inches high. (ja-19-04) $1,975 |

| 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 43 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 43 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.

| Large 2,710+ct Quartz Crystal with beautiful inclusions including several sprays of crystals. Surfaces have been polished to allow viewing from all the natural crystal faces. Would look beautiful on a lit base or perhaps on a lit custom-made bronze base with hand-applied patina to match the color of the inclusions! We know an artist that can be contacted to create a custom bronze lit base! (tccl-18-01) $1,275. |

| 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.) |
|
| Large 485+ct Clear Brasilian Quartz with numerous well-defined Green Epidote Crystals. This material is available in smaller sizes out there on the market, including in All That Glitters inventory, but to have such a large water clear piece with transparent green crystals, is very uncommon. (The price per carat for smaller pieces is far higher than the price per carat of this piece - to be marked at the same price per carat would mean this piece would have a price tag of just under $3,500 - and that price could be more of the expected price if one were to find a similar one for sale.) Great for display in a curio cabinet or as a paperweight. (mpnto-17-01) $1,455 (Only $3/ct!) Measures approximately 75x35x26mm (about 3" long!)

We knew we had great prices on our unique Agate Slices, but one at auction in 2016 was nothing special in color and pattern, nor very aesthetically pleasing (unlike our hand-selected pieces below). Pricing was multitudes higher than our All That Glitters pricing! Agate Slice at Auction

| An extremely large Black (Schorl) Tourmaline Crystal from China with a custom-made stand (possible Cherry or Teak??). There seems to be a layer running horizontally near the base that seems to have some color, green, and that might be a layer of Green Tourmaline. The piece is in wonderful condition, shows numerous other crystal faces on the sides, is well terminated, and is something that one just doesn't see in this size. From top to bottom of the crystal, it measures about 4.5" and across piece, it is again about 4.5". (sissto-14-01) $1,275 | |

| An incredibly beautiful and unique, one of a kind Agate Slice from the Rio Grande do Sul area of Brasil, specifically from Salto do Jacui. In 30+ years, we haven't seen anything like this, but we have seen some designer pieces where similar concentric circles have been cut out of agate and made into round pieces for high end jewelry or collectors - selling at about $400 each. (rock3k-13-01) $1,825 Comes with a custom wooden stand for display - perfect for the top of a desk, bureau or curio-cabinet. | |

| When this was encountered, we had never heard of Tourmaline crystals being found in Quartz geodes. This was a surprise to find and we snapped it up. In conversations with others, it seems that it is known to occur but it not common. We are currently awaiting more information, as we have sent an email to GIA as well as a very well-known mineral dealer. We did hear back from a well-known mineral dealer who indicated that he thought this would sell for about $2,000. However, his email seemed to indicate that he might have been thinking this was a much smaller slice of a geode and we got the impression that he was comparing it to a sliced tourmaline crystal. Our feeling is that even with photos, he didn't grasp that this was a huge quartz geode that contained tourmaline crystals - probably because he had never seen or heard of such a thing either. As in other All That Glitters inventory, this is priced to sell and we don't hold items back for personal use or a collection, though this is certainly something that we had never seen before in the past. Priced inexpensively considering the size, uniqueness (one-of-a-kind?) and the weight!.... (micho-13-01) $750 |

| A VERY Large Slice of Petrified Wood originating from Madagascar
and measuring approximately 14.5" across and 13" top to bottom. The smaller

crannies, there are crystals growing as well as some other unusual formations
when one studies it more closely! (normad-12a-01) $775

| This is a beauty from a
famous location in China, and came from a person who wrote a detailed
technical report on the location and analysis of this particular
locale. We are attempting to obtain more information, but the language
barrier can be a problem. This piece sits on its own custom carved base
(rosewood?). Besides the main Emerald crystal, there is a small one
near the base and under the large one as seen in the photo; some color
to the left of the large one and above the quartz; and also part of a
crystal on the back/top. We can tell you that it is from the Malipo
Area, Yunnan, China. Approximate measurements are 3 inches across the
widest part of the front, 3" high and about 1.5 inches thick. Fine
Quality Mineral Specimens have been fetching outrageous figures. We
have seen interesting aesthetically pleasing Pyrite pieces fetching up
to $40,000. (smc-10-01) $1,779 The unique crystals we have in Beryl, Emerald, Garnet, Tourmaline and others, seem ridicuously low... |

| Weighing in at an amazing 1,563cts, this piece of multi-colored Burmese Jade was sculpted into a marvelous lizard. We particularly liked the banded feature of this piece as it is truly reminiscent of some lizards. Difficult to find good carving material and the price of carving has gone up tremendously!

| Camille the Two-Toned Burmese Jade Chameleon - Currently All That Glitters Mascot! | |
|
This unique, well executed Jade Carving originates where fine Jade is to
be found - Burma. It is two-toned and this natural aspect of the natural
material has been expertly integrated into a Burmese Chameleon weighing
approximately 317cts of Jade! Our new mascot will probably not be around
too long, and some might even say that it is endangered. Some astute
collector of Jade, the unique, chameleons, jewelry store, etc. will see
this and add it to their collection. This is the first carving that we
felt was of high quality and not overly priced - and we have been looking
for items of quality and distinction for over 20 years! We honestly do
not have a feel for pricing such an item which was intricately carved
over many hours or the price of this interesting two-tone 317cts of Jade,
but we are basing the price on our cost. We really don't want to part
with Camille, but if she finds a better home, we will let her go and only
hope that we can find some of her relatives..... (chapr-05-01) $4,275 Interesting facts
about Camille - she weighs 317cts!!! Her overall length is approximately
3 inches and her height is about 2 inches. She has been photographed for
a magazine article which can be accessed via the link below. Not too many
have the opportunity to own an item that was seen in a magazine around
the world! (Not to mention, it is Genuine Natural Jade too!)

| This beautiful Bronze Thai Buddha Head came from one of the capitals of Thailand (Sukothai) back in the early part of the 1800s. It would have been in a shrine in a wealthy home owner or possibly in a temple. It is quite common to find just heads of statues because it was a common practice to cover solid gold buddha statues with other common material, thus hiding the fact that the statue was gold from those who might be invading the area from neighboring countries. The heads were removed to verify that it was not gold beneath! This piece measures approximately 4" from the bottom to the top of the head. (tem-10-01) $2,100 |

| This nice piece came from a dealer in Belgium that we have dealt with for decades. As can be seen in the above label, it is Aztec, from Coatlinchan and looks as if it found its way into a collection/museum back in 1955. We haven't had an Aztec piece in the past, so wanted to offer this to our customers to collect antiquities. (prmgns-10-02) $875 | |

| The following 7 items are plaques, with the centers being Russian Ural
Jasper. Believe the frames to be onyx, but it has not been tested. There is
a handle on the back of each piece. To insure safety, it is recommend that
you frame the pieces and hang them that way, or use a wooden, brass or
similar tripod as one would display a dish. As you can see from the photos
below, 3 pieces are similar, as the Jasper was sliced revealing similar
colors and patterns, but still very distinct and different from the other.
We have had a few of these unique and collectable works of art over the
past several years, with many in the trade purchasing them for sale in
their storefronts, but the person who used to find them on occasion during
his travels through his native Russia, is now retired. We came upon a
person who had 7 pieces - and after tough negotiations, we purchased all 7.
We are happy to offer them to our online customers. These pieces measure
approximately 5x5.5 inches and do vary, but not much. Each piece is priced at only $269 unless otherwise marked . |
