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 impromptu
while 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.  We have received a few copies of the magazine and scanned the related section related to the Color Change YAG.  We did not scan the image of the Kyanite as it is sold, but you can still see this wonderful Kyanite and smaller Kyanites (also published in a book on gemstones previously) on the links below.
Read/view available information on the following links:
Large Sapphire-like Kyanite:  <  Kyanite  >
Approx 100ct Color Change YAG (pink/lilac/clear):  <  CC YAG >

All That Glitters Customers Set their Gemstones into Custom Jewelry:
Two more customers have shared their jewelry creations recently.  Even if one is unfamiliar with jewelry, one will probably recognize craftmanship and quality.  Many of our customers have used well-known goldsmiths to create the appropiate mountings for their Fine All That Glitters Gemstones - Quality Gemstones deserve Quality Mountings!   <  Custom Jewelry Created with ATG Gems!  >
