Gemstones in Cutting:

Nothing currently in cutting.  However, we do have a Pakistani Topaz Crystal that we hope to have two gemstones faceted from - maybe in the July timeframe.  The owner of All That Glitters may facet this piece  - expected shapes are a triangular and square gem!

All That Glitters In The News:

We understand from one of our customers in the United Kingdom, that our large faceted Kyanite was published in a gemology related trade publication.  Several interesting pieces of All That Glitters were photographed improptunwhile in Tucson by a member representing The Gemological Association of Great Britain.  The group of three ooohh-ed and aaahh-ed over all the items shown from the All That Glitters Collection.  We are waiting to receive a copy of their publication and had hoped for a link to share with our customers, but that link is proprietary and requires a username/password.

Videos to Now Appear on the All That Glitters Website:

We have been striving to have a few videos available for some of our special gemstones.  Unfortunately, our rotating display is back east where we used it on our TV Show, The World of Gemstones, back in the last 90s.  We hope to use this in the future to produce a 360 degree view of some gems.  Currently, we have created videos where the gemstone is held in tweezers and rocked back and forth.  We are still experimenting to insure the color/saturation is as accurate as possible.  Please bear with us.  To date, we have three videos and you can view them here, or visit the pages where the gemstone photo and information is to be found.
