Our original first gemstone cut from this material was a square and sold pretty much immediately after we faceted it.
Here are two more - a round and a square - and this will most likely be the last of this unique material that we will purchase due to the
high cost of the rough and the fact that we are slowing down in purchasing after 43 years in the gemstone trade.
This is not radioactive but it certainly looks like it, right?? This is a lab grown garnet, specifically Lutetium Aluminum Garnet.
It is used as the detector within PET Scanners in hospitals. What you are seeing is the fluorescence under ordinary light. It certainly glows.
The video color is indeed accurate and the color is best described as the neony yellowish green similar to radiator/anti-freeze fluid for your car.
This material is so unique and interesting that GIA studied the material and wrote an article in their Gems & Gemology Magazine!
A - 15.98ct Round (celuag-23-02a) $1119 ON HOLD! (EK)
B - 16.60ct Square (celuag-23-02b) $1162 ON HOLD! (EK)
This is not radioactive but it certainly looks like it, right?? This is a lab grown garnet,
specifically Lutetium Aluminum Garnet. It is used as the detector within PET Scanners in hospitals. What you are
seeing is the fluorescence under ordinary light. It certainly glows. The photo color is indeed accurate and
the video shows a haziness around the gem because it is just so fluorescent to the cameras sensors. The color is best
described as the neony yellowish green radiator/anti-freeze fluid for your car. This weighs 10.24cts and is just under 10mm square.
making this an inexpensive conversation piece. In speaking to someone very familiar with this material, prices can be between up to $200/ct
depending on whether "it's really aggressive daylight fluorescence stuff". Yes, depending on the lights, you can see this from MANY feet away -
this is super aggressive fluorescence-wise in daylight! This actually puts Paraiba to shame... (celuag-23-01) SOLD!
*** Two Indredibly Dark Aquamarines ***
Most in the trade would think these are blue Topaz or Zircon, Possibly Tourmaline.
Selling at wholesale prices seen in Tucson!
A - 1.82ct Trilliant Deep Blue Aquamarine (gp-24-01) $2184
B - A large pear shape weighing 3.97ct - origin is Madagascar, which has some incredibly deeply colored
Aquamarines, including a cushion shape that we have in inventory that is so deep blue, most don't recognize it
as Aqua and might be one of the most saturated blues seen in the trade (and without grey as a modifier!) Photo doesn't do this gem justice -
the color is actually more saturated in person than the photo shows...(prigem-24-01) $5955
Most people probably haven't heard of Sphene before, but it comes in various colors, such as yellow, orange, brown and green.
It is known for being highly dispersive, even higher than diamond; so you will see Fire coming off of most of them. So much at times that you can't miss it
in some colors/cuts. Chrome Sphene is rare as it contains Chromium and is a deeper richer green than the non-Chromium
containing Green Sphenes. It frequetnly has inclusions, especially if the gems are on the larger side. The price for larger
Sphenes can disappoint many as the larger pieces, with dispersion, that dazzle the eyes are higher in price per carat than
smaller ones. It is a softer gemstone and the recommendation would be to wear it in a pendant. This 2.10ct is real beauty and in both photos here,
you can see various colors coming off some of the facets - that is the Fire/Dispersion! (ik-24-03) $840
*** Very Deep Pink Topaz ***
A - Deep Pink Topaz, 3.68ct Pear. Gemstone purchased from a jewelry store who bought these many decades ago.
We purchased this in hopes that it could be natural or irradiated, and the price per carat would have been something like $2500/ct, but
AGL Lab indicated that the color is due to a coating, so clear natural topaz with a coating that provides this deep pink color.
Should be stable unless recut or repolished. (ajay-24-01a) Only $175 We will provide a copy of the cert as noted below.
B - Deep Pink Topaz, 3.78ct Pear. Gemstone purchased from a jewelry store who bought these many decades ago.
We purchased this in hopes that it could be natural or irradiated, and the price per carat would have been something like $2500/ct, but
AGL Lab indicated that the color is due to a coating, so clear natural topaz with a coating that provides this deep pink color.
Should be stable unless recut or repolished.(ajay-24-01b) $200 - and comes with the original cert which cost over $120 which included the shipping.
Fresh off the dop and faceted by the owner of All That Glitters - a 17.97ct YAG (Yttrium Aluminium Garnet) grown
in a laboratory in the United States for Laser Rod use in Medical Applications. A Brilliant Bright green reminiscent
of fine Chrome Tourmaline or Tsavorite Garnet - all due to their beatiful glowing green to having the element Chromium...
and that can be said of Emerald too! An 8ct fine quality Tsavorite Garnet sold last year for $120,000 - if only this came out of the
ground in Africa! (yag-cr-23-01a) SOLD!
8.41ct Crystal Clear Quartz with Very Large Golden Rutile Needles!(Brasilian) From a specific find back in the
1980s - we were told that Cartiers in London were extending the internal Rutile Needles with Gold and terminating them
with precious gems at the time. Wonderful for a collection or to set into a pendant, pin or even a ring.
(sbg-10) $225
5.86ct Color Shifting YAG (Yytrium Aluminum Garnet, Lab Grown, Synthetic) from Russia - said to be grown
40 to 50 years ago. We saw this material in the rough and had to have it! Russia was known for growing unique
crystals and attempting to do various research to create new products for various applications, many were defense
and space related. Some of these crystal experiments were some times very few batches of a particular run and
were never produced again. This could be one of those cases. What the original intent, desired outcome and
final application, this is lost to history and currently unknown. This material goes from sort of a smoky orange
to a golden green or khaki green color. Measures 9 mm square and is well faceted by our Cutters from the rough.
A brilliant/sparkly gem! (exomin-13a-1a) $360
Large 8.14ct Moonstone with decently centered Blue Sheen!! Measures approx. 15x8x9mm; high dome.
This is the largest piece of only 5 pieces of larger material we hand-picked from a large parcel when traveling
internationally on a gem buying expedition almost 6 years ago. Since it has been years, pricing in trade shows has been
going up. We have not changed our prices since these Blue Sheen Moonstones were priced!.... (egaj-15-53) $160/ct - $1300.
Pricing Update - Tucson 2020, AGTA Show Wholesale Pricing seen for 2.80ct Marquise, $200/ct!... Photo taken several feet from a window, no overhead lighting and overcast outside.
You can see the reflection of the window on the surface of the Moonstone!
There are a few inclusions off to the side and running the correct way so as not to be
seen from the top. Can be seen from the side, but perhaps remedied depending on how it is set (bezel set?).
Priced to move when compared to what the trade is paying in Tucson... Personally, it seems
high but the demand for this material over the past 10 years has been high! (Similar to Grey Spinel in demand
and therefore, pricing)

on all the different portable devices makes it diffficult for true color reproduction as the eye actually sees...(#20 is a case/box number)

Our second and last Danburite faceted by the owner of All That Glitters, from one crystal.
Rough originated in Mexico, which is known for the clear/white variety. Crystal clear, clean as a whistle.
A Real Brilliant Sparkler - the colors seen in the photo and video are Dispersion/Fire, a physical property of
Danburite that is splitting the white light into its colored components. A large gemstone for this species.
Priced at the wholesale price that we found on line. This is the last of the Danburite to be cut.
Danburite was named after the town where it was first located/found - Danbury, CT!
(atg-20-03) $100/ct
Finished and off the dop, a 8.66ct Danburite, faceted by the owner of All That Glitters. Rough
originated in Mexico, which is known for the clear/white variety. Crystal clear, clean as a whistle. Photos show the trimmed
crystal on the dop as well as starting to put in the pavilion facets where a wonderful snowflake etching could be seen and
is highlighted in the last photo. Enjoy! (atg-20-02) $650 including Shipping/Full Insurance.
(Yes, from the info above as well as the fact that this was faceted in the U.S., the price is a
give-a-way for such a large, water clear, clean beautiful Danburite!!!! All That Glitters Pricing Below Wholesale as Usual!)
Pricing was found online. We have matched pair of clear Danburites, concave cut, purchased a number of years back while traveling
abroad buying rough/gems. They were the first Danburites All That Glitters purchased in our 40 year history. Many of our cutter
friends had mentioned how lively the material can be and how popular it was amongst some...)
Pyrite Cab, 18mm, 16.53cts, with interesting other mineral inclusions. Origin: U.S. (csii-20-02) $100 INCLUDING Shipping/Insurance!
In keeping with All That Glitters' Unique and Rare Gems, here is another colored version of Zoisite - a
Green Zoisite; some call this Green Tanzanite or simply Fancy Tanzanite, as it is the same
mineral as Tanzanite, but can be found in various colors. This interesting freeform weighs 4.27cts and one can almost
expect that a larger piece of rough may be faceted in such a way to utilize this rare material. Faceted in the U.S. by a
Multi-Award Winning Cutter who is represented in museums. (ggc-20a-03) Contact Us for Pricing. (The original cutter was seeking about $8,000 for
this unique beauty!)
4.76ct Very Saturated Blue Aquamarine from Madagascar. Incredibly Deep Color and expected to be Unheated!
In the trade, a darker color of Aqua may be called Santa Maria Afrique, with the original Santa Maria
color being found in Brasil; those found in Africa have the Afrique nomenclature to distinguish origin.
Very lively, brilliant, nice polish - just an incredible gemstone. There is an inclusion running the best
way in the gem which when looking down through the table, cannot be seen with a 10x loupe; from the side, if it
is tipped, one can find it. Shouldn't be an issue setting or wearing this gemstone.
Most retail/trade people would not guess
this is Aquamarine and would most likely think it Blue Zircon or Blue Topaz. Small 1-2ct pieces of a nice deep
aqua color like this were selling at $1000/ct wholesale at Tucson this year (2020). So a larger one is even less
common and would sell for more per carat. Add more $$$ to the price above and one can have an idea of an expected wholesale price and what this might sell for in a retail setting -
expect up to about a 300% markup. This is one of those gemstones, like a nice fine Alexandrite or Padparadscha Sapphire, that most appraisers
or those in the business would be hard pressed to come up with an actual hard value for..
Since this is a VERY special Aquamarine in size/saturation/shape/brilliance, we took the liberty of obtaining a
cert. From a few pieces of rough material we have seen in 43 years in the business, this is also unique
in that this should be an unheated Aquamarine - most Aqua is heated to drive the yellow component off leaving a more pure blue.
As noted in discussions with dealers and others, this is something that one may not see for decades on the market or in the trade. (spnnl-20-01) $9,520

Clear Quartz with what is believed to be a Star Actinolite. This was occasionally seen on the market
about 10 years ago and quickly disappeared as this wasn't a large deposit. Found a parcel and we choose the
two nicest for clarity, nice stars/sprays of the Actinolite. The smaller piece has sold, but this larger aesthetically pleasing
piece is available - and we do not anticipate finding any more of this material and therefore, this will be the last piece
in the All That Glitters Collection. A beauty!

Golden Orange Tanzanite (Zoisite) weighing 4.93cts and faceted from All That Glitters rough by one of our expert cutters! (eagt-18-01) $6,163
Large faceted Color Change Russian YAG (material is about 50 years old)and has a very unique color change from
essentially clear to pink. Some might describe it as silver, grey, pewter or lilac depending on the lights,
but many would just indicate clear. The pink is a darker version of 'pink ice', a color that many are familiar with.
One larger piece exists and was featured in Gem-A Magazine (trade magazine - UK) where it
amazed those UK gemologists who saw the piece in person. An under 5 carat faceted round also is available and one
can see both the larger and smaller faceted gem, read the article and view a video of the color
change by visiting our Published Gems Page! (Published Gemstones)
This recently faceted piece is similar in all aspects to the large published piece - color change, clean, large, etc.
As noted in the article, it is a unique and fascinating color change. This piece was faceted in a design
called Pines of the Janiculum and weighs over 76cts. Measures approximately 22.2x16.8mm (alxb-14-01b) $1,500
