We thought we would create a new page devoted to U.S. Sapphire (Montana) as this has a large following and we currently have a few pieces of rough that we had purchased and faceted in the U.S.

Gemstones in Cutting:
We have the following pieces with one of our cutters in the NW of the United States: 
Large Rhodolite/Umbalite Garnet; Smaller Rhodolite/Umbalite Garnet; Fancy Yellowish Golden Orange “Tanzanite” (Zoisite); Orange Tourmaline
We hope to send the following to another Award Wining Cutter in the SW of the United States:
Large Bluish Purple Amethyst (Rwanda); Smaller Sized Bluish Purple Amethyst (Congo); Blended Ametrine
Possible other rough to be sent to other cutters include:
Orangy Zircon(2); Medium Sized Rhodolite/Umbalite Garnet; Blue Purple Amethyst(?); Small Test Gemstones which include Fancy Rare Garnet, Zircon and Orangy Tourmaline.

All That Glitters In The News:
The newly photographed “Ametrine Trapiche” that we recently added into inventory and that is a new find originating in Brasil, will be noted in an article later this year in the well-known Gems & Gemology Magazine by GIA.  All That Glitters Unique and Rare Gemstones have appeared in Gems & Gemology Magazine on a regular basis, with the first article being 1996 noting the newly discovered Imperial Malaia Garnet, named by the owner of All That Glitters.
