All That Glitters Website and Info Changes for July 2025!
Here are the changes on the All That Glitters Website for July 2025:
We were fortunate to find two cabochons from a woman whose family (husband, son, as well as herself) mine
Topaz from the famous Ukranian Mine known for producing Bicolor Topaz (Orangy and Natural Light Blue Topaz) in the same crystal. One can sometimes see these pieces faceted as Bicolored Gemstones as one would for Tourmaline, Ametrine and other similar gemstones where the crystal has changed color during the growth process. The two cabs had great color and were essentially clean (very small pinpoints could be seen in good light and with good eyes(!) or under power). We had one of our cutters facet both of these and they produced Whoppers of Gems in Size! Nice color, shifting at times depending on the lights. Would be beautiful in a ring or pendant – or even better, since the colors are the same, the sizes close to each other, the same cutter faceted them – make both a ring and a pendant from these two pieces – as this opportunity is never going to occur again and there is precedence for thinking of actually doing this! With a Savings of $20/ct, these big gems will save you lots of $$$ with this Monthly Special!... (For those who are interested in both pieces, feel free to reach out!)

Using Artificial Intelligence (AI), the owner of All That Glitters was curious as to what would be generated if one were to use an AI tool and enter – “Tell me about All That Glitters, Methuen”
The results were indeed interesting – so for a synopsis of the business All That Glitters, founded in 1981 for initially sales to the trade and then opened to the public, collectors and the general population, see what was said!...

We are awaiting one of our specialty cutters to see what his thoughts were for completing a Diaspore started by one of our previous cutters but was left unfinished many years ago (after trimming an original segment/crystal of Diaspore, we obtained about a 100ct piece; the pavilion was started with a few facets and the table and crown area is quite large and must be cut down in the future and the entire piece completed – though the trimmed piece was 100cts, the existing piece in progress is now about 33cts, and it is expected that the finished piece might end up being about 15cts if we are lucky, but we are contemplating a fancy high dome top which might have a checkerboard or opposed bar top.) This piece has an interesting story, being in the hands of 3 different multi-award winning cutters (AGTA Cutting Edge Awards) as well as a cutter who is known for some unique designs. The 2nd piece that one of our cutters is looking at, is a deep red Oregon Sunstone, with a green rind around the red and then this goes to clear out to all the edges – relatively common in this material when the nice reds are found. This has copper schiller running in more than one direction and 90 degrees from each other and so this is something that might be sleepy when cut, but could have good color; it is also possible that we will cab it but awaiting our specialty cutter (also considering to facet the Diaspore noted above) to think about the options - he is more familiar with the idiosyncrasies of Oregon Sunstone with a green rind and copper schiller. He has faceted some of our OR Sunstone in the past and he himself does indeed own a claim in the high deserts of Oregon where he mines Sunstone!. The outcome for these two pieces is still yet to be determined!
We have selected some of our rough to be cut and will most likely be sending some material out to be faceted from our rough as well as a recut or two. (We have decided to temporarily hold off on sending the rough to one of our specialty cutters; but this is only perhaps a small delay.)
We might be selling our existing and last rough to the trade/cutters or perhaps cutting some of it and releasing it at ridiculously low prices – but then again, our prices are a fraction of retail prices seen out there.
There is very little new rough presently in our inventory in general and we already have representations faceted from that rough, including: Blue Flash Amethyst, Blended Ametrine, Tourmaline, Color Change Diaspore, Yellow Beryl, Color Change Garnet, Umbalite and Rhodolite Garnet, Oregon Sunstone, Synthetic Alexandrite and others….
All That Glitters had teamed up with Stuller Settings - Choose a Setting/Design for a Gemstone in the Comfort of Your Home! Once you have made your choice/selection, save it. We will be notified via email and can provide you a special All That Glitters discounted price, typically about 35% off the price that had been displayed; what is calculated is the retail price, so we must recalculate to give you the All That Glitters Discount! Note that savings on All That Glitters colored gemstones could be as high as 75% or so off retail, since we purchase as close to the source as possible, and there are no others in between the purchase of the rough or faceted gemstone. Contact us if you have found your special gemstone in our inventory and we can provide the dimensions if not already stated on our website – you can search the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase for that shape and those dimensions to find that special setting…
