This incredible water clear and clean specimen was saved
from cutting in the past. It has it's own custom made base, and still has
some of the attached mineralization in which it grew. From the collection
of an internationally known collector and dealer. (finmin-13-01) $3500
Mineral specimens, like fine gemstones, have been constantly increasing in
price, and have climbed dramatically over the past year. Specimens like
this will continue to climb as more of the world population obtains more
buying power.... |

Believed to be a type of Mica, this shines like a
metallic green. While in Tucson, we attempted to perform Raman Spectroscopy
on it, but there was no flat surface and no information was obtained. It
does flake and looks like Mica, but we are not sure of the origin. The
color also indicates that the color could be due to Chrome, but a Chelsea
Filter does not show red.
This 25ct yet to be
determined mineral is $20 including shipping/insurance via USPS Priority
Box. Note - U.S. Shipping Only; Inquire for International Shipping. |

Pakistan. Wonderful to view with a magnifying glass and loupe. Garnet
Crystals are amazing! $55 |
| Two Fine Specimens from
the Shigar Valley, Skardu District, Pakistan |
 |
 |
| A |
B |
| A - Approximately 4 x 2 cm Aquamarine crystal with mica
from the Shigar Valley (Pakistan); wonderful crystal structure. Color is
very pale and essentially colorless; could be called Goshenite, but there
is a small tinge of color, so this Beryl would probably be called
Aquamarine by many. (minminr-13-01) $675 |
| B - Approximately 5 x 2.5 cm Bicolor (watermelon?)
Tourmaline on matrix (including Purple/Pink Lepidolite, possibly either
Black Tourmaline or very dark Smoky Quartz and other associated pegmatite
minerals - there are numerous smaller Tourmaline crystals on the piece),
Shigar Valley, Pakistan (minminr-13-02) $925 |
| For a quick
sale - Both pieces for only $900 |
 |
 |
| Pakistani Aquamarine Cluster weighing 975cts as seen.
Measures approximately 48x91x70mm. Called The Aquamarine Cross because of
the shape of the Mica matrix. No problems or issues. A super piece.

| Incredible Quartz Crystal with Scene |
Click the image above for a more detailed image! |
| An incredible terminated quartz crystal from Brasil (Bueno'polis) with
etching on the back that seems to show a mountainous scene with shrubs and
trees. Naturally frosted on the back. Ones sees this in some minerals, but
talented carvers have carved the backs of transparent material producing
the same affect. This is natural and what a beauty! (brazimp-13-02)

| Malachite Stalactite - Africa (the Congo) |
 |
 |
 |
| A 1048ct Malachite Stalactite from the Congo (African).
Comes with a wooden stand allowing one to display it. A really nice
example! One of the ends does show what is inside - the wonderfully
colorful banding of Malachite! We have seen small slices of this material
and they were selling for about $30 a slice, and if one wanted to, many
sliced could be cut from this piece, as well as some interesting doubles
because of the two pieces that are grew attached to each other. We would
not recommend destroying this specimen even though it would certainly mean
a profit in the end. Approximately 5-1/2" long. (ch-13-01) $975 |

 |
| A unique piece that comes from Ankazobe , Antananarivo
Province in Madagascar. A Smoky AND Amethyst Quartz 135ct Scepter. Usually,
it would be one or the other, but not both! Lots of interesting inclusions
and we would not be surprised if one could find some water or liquid in
some areas. Measures approximately 40mm from top to bottom. (pm-13-01)

| Petrified Wood From Cherry Creek, Nevada! |
 |
 |
 |
| A wonderful slice of Petrified Wood from Cherry Creek, NV
that when we saw it, we had to have it! A nice natural design consisting of
tans, beige, black, white, creams and even orange! Slice has not been
polished and looks better when wet. If one were to spray on silicone, this
would make the item look wet and bring out even more beauty, This is also a
reversible process. There are a few areas where one can see crystal growth
as in the photo directly above. (aggal-13-01) $250 including
shipping! |

| A Blue, Blue Green to Green Santa Rosa Mine Tourmaline
(Minas Gerais) - 40cts. Wonderfully Doubly Terminated piece. (sammin-13-01)
$1649 |
 |
 |
| Two Amethyst Crystals from Cerro de la Concordia, Mexico.
These crystals are water clean with a sort of glowing light purple (photo
displays a darker color) - but they sparkle and glow in the sun. They seem
to have grown floating in a pocket and have some other mineral on their
bases - the large one actually has a terminated crystal on the base too!

 |
| An Agate Slice from Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. This
caught our attention immediately because of the unique striations running
horizontal which is not common. Also, the aesthetically pleasing natural
shapes and designs at the top as well as the intricate border jumps out. It
is dyed (green) and can most likely be removed, but the coloring does show
the striations to the best advantage. (rock3k-13-02) $210 |

| A - Amethyst Cactus (vstgm-13-01a) $175 |
| B - Geode Slice similar to the above piece, but not
amethyst. We liked the darker center surrounded by the clear area, which
then goes translucent and terminates in quartz crystals at the edge.

| A terminated Tourmaline Crystal in smoky quartz from theimp
state of Minas Gerais in Brasil. The quartz faces have been polished,
leaving the Tourmaline crystal untouched with the exception of the bottom
so it sits nicely on a flat surface. It is approximately 2.5" or so from
top to bottom. (brazexp-13-02) $1100 |
 |
 |
| 142ct Slightly Smoky Quartz (Brasilian - Minas Gerais,
specifically Diamantina) with lots of wonderful internal inclusions,
including a spray of golden rutile which looks like a horse tail found in
Demantoid Garnets, as well as small internal quartz crystals. There appears
to be a grown line in the middle of the crystal where the inclusions have
grown, and this happens on both sides of the zone. (brazimp-13-1b)

| 203ct Smoky Quartz from Minas Gerais, Brasil (specifically
Diamantina) with numerous inclusions, including the wonderful grouping you
can see when one looks from the bottom into the crystal (rt hand photo).

 One of the
open spots of the slice actually shows wonderful quartz
crystallization! |
| 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 |
