Gemstones in Cutting:  
Faceting has begun on about 22 pieces of rough in the hands of one of our Specialty Facetors and we are expecting about 25 pieces to be returned in perhaps about two months.  A few pieces will be cut in half.   Of these pieces currently in cutting, we have:
Ametrine, High Quality Oregon Sunstone, 7 pieces of Blue Flash Amethyst (the last of our rough and it is no longer available to obtain from this locality), Lab Grown Alexandrite, LuAl Garnet (Lab), and two pieces of Brandy Colored Ukranian Topaz.  We are very excited about this Topaz because the color is special - these will be large pieces.  These pieces come from a famous deposit where the Topaz can grow as a Bi-Color Topaz – naturally occurring light Blue Topaz and this unique Brandy Color together in one crystal.  You can sometimes see this on the market faceted as bi-color gemstones, but in order to have decent color saturation, they typically have to be larger gems.  Very interesting color and locality and a collectors gem for those in the know; or for those who don’t know about this deposit and these gems, one will see a beautiful brilliant brandy colored Topaz!  In the case of these pieces, the rough was trimmed from the brandy colored section of the rough and might not have had any light blue at all in the rough; perhaps the blue part if it existed, had inclusions. 
There is very little new rough presently and we already have representations faceted from that rough, including:  Blue Flash Amethyst, Blended Ametrine, Tourmaline, Color Change Diaspore, Yellow Beryl, Color Change Garnet, Umbalite and Rhodolite Garnet, Oregon Sunstone, Synthetic Alexandrite and others….
 
What Else is New on the All That Glitters Website?:
We have added two more payment methods for our customers:  Zelle and Cashpay
(Cashpay will be an option in Square, as well as credit cards and ACH)
 
New Page Added to our Learn More Page:
We wanted to share a new page regarding lectures/discussions at the Tucson 2024 Gem and Mineral Show this year, which contained important Trade Info that we thought All That Customers would find interesting/insightful.  This had been March’s Monthly Gem News.  Therefore, we have made it a permanent page on our Learn More page.

What Has All That Glitters Been Involved in Recently?:
We are still working on some custom pieces of jewelry and this project should be completed within a week or so.  Customer is very much looking forward to seeing the finished product!
