All That Glitters Website Changes and Info for March 2009

This Months Special: Clear Quartz with Black Tourmaline Needles - Approx 32x22x17mm 74.53cts

This material was purchased during our travels in Brasil back in 1984/1985/1987.
Up to that point, when this material was seen on the market, the quartz was typically cloudy and they were always cut into cabochons. This material was water clear, had distinct black tourmaline needles running through it and these gemstones were faceted into unique shapes. The price currently listed above represents a very large savings over the price that we were selling it back 20+ years ago.
