All That Glitters Website and Info Changes for June 2018!
Here
are the changes on the All That Glitters Website for June 2018:
This Month's Special: Wonderfully Etched Meteorite Slice
with Two Tanzanites!
Wonderful
meteorite slice showing incredible etching, origin is Russia (Seymchan).
Tanzanite rounds in two opposing corners. An interesting piece for jewelry
design, a curio cabinet, collection, etc. Very Unique and probably not to be
found elsewhere.
This Month's Gem News: The
Legend of Bolivianite (Ametrine) – Featuring 4 Ametrines from All That
Glitters!
The
word ‘Ametrine’ comes from the contraction of Amethyst and Citrine, which was
taken, respectively, from the first two and the last two syllables…

Correction:
The
beautifully bright orange round Tourmaline that came back from our cutter over
the past month was identified as having a weight of
3.85cts
– the weight is actually 7.73cts! The
price was correct, but with a much smaller weight, the calculated and displayed
price per carat was incorrect. The
weight is now displaying correctly at 7.73cts – this is a gorgeous piece for
those who haven’t seen it on our website previously. It
can be viewed as the first gemstone on the first Tourmaline page, as well as
being the 5th gemstone currently displayed on the Newly Photographed
page…

Note – the Amber (3) and Meteorites (2) may go to auction, and
if all goes well in the past, their selling price could be 2-5 times the All
That Glitters price. We are waiting for the
contract as well as price ranges and reserves.
Due to the interest in auctions, this particular company has been slow
and we might consider another auction house or keep them on our website for a
longer timeframe, offering the trade and the public continued
great
deals!...
Gemstones in Cutting:
Currently
in Cutting - Large Bluish Purple Amethyst (Rwanda); Smaller Sized Bluish Purple
Amethyst (Congo); Orangy Zircon(2); Medium Sized Rhodolite/Umbalite Garnet;
Small ‘Test’ Gemstones which include Fancy Rare Garnet (various colors), Zircon
and Orangy Tourmaline. Due in shortly, but
won’t be in our database, photographed and on line until perhaps the July
timeframe. Our goal would be to have
them available for our July email, but that may be difficult as we will be in
transit essentially until the end of June and won’t have sufficient time to do
all the work required before we send that email to our valued customers.
All That Glitters In The News:
Gerard Quintin from the South American Gem Academy contacted All
That Glitters about an upcoming article as he desired some of our unique fine
examples of Ametrine. Geoffrey Dominy,
whom we met and have been in contact with for about 30 years, then reached out
for more photos and info for this article. The World Gem Foundation is
responsible for Gemology Today, and Geoff is the founder, as well as a
relatively new publisher of books on gemstones. We expect some of our
gemstone to be in his future books as well as other articles. The
Ametrine article may be viewed on the following link: http://www.worldgemfoundation.com/GTMay2018/html5forpc.html?page=20
All
four of these unique and beautiful Ametrines are currently available for those
who wish to own a one-of-a-kind published gemstone.
Our
gemstones have appeared in magazines, books, newspapers, trade journals and
even websites such as International Gem Society as many of All That Glitters
gems represent the gemstone species on their website! All That Glitters/L. Allen Brown may be the most
published gemstone business as far as photos of unique, fine and extraordinary
color, as well as the least known since we haven’t displayed in Tucson since
1990 or exhibited in a show open to the public since 2003! That could change with 2019, as we might
display in Tucson again, and if not in 2019, we certainly hope to in 2020 – so
put it on your calendar and plan to visit our booth! We will note our location, booth, hours,
etc.in our monthly emails prior to the show.
The
newly photographed “Ametrine Trapiche” that
we recently added into inventory and that is a new find originating in Brasil,
will be
featured
in an article (Summer 2018) 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. All four new
acquisitions will appear in the article, with three being available for sale!
