Traveling Again: 

Last trip of the year.  Off to the jungles of Costa Rica.  Shipping of packages might be delayed since we will be out of the country.  We will attempt to answer emails, inquiries and process orders to some extent while away- shipping will not happen until about the 22nd onward.

Newly Faceted or Newly Photographed Gemstones: 

We are seeing the results via photos and videos of newly faceted gemstones from rough sent to one of our specialty cutters.

This includes a Blue Flash Amethyst, Red Zircon, Golden Scapolite, two Color Change/Shifting Garnets, numerous Oregon Sunstones many with Copper Schiller and several LuAG Lab Grown Garnets for use in Pet Scans (grown for the medical industry and we are faceting this neon glowing material for gemstones!).  We have posted photos of these gems on the Newly Photographed page and it is believed that by the end of September, we will have them in our office and will re-weigh, do all the associated tracking/paperwork, enter the info into our database, then work on some videos and finally create code to display descriptions of each gemstone as well as posting either photos, videos or perhaps both.  This will take about a week or so once we have begun that intensive process.  We will be traveling internationally again, so it is very possible that all the information, photos and videos of these new gemstones might not be posted until early November.

Update – We are still awaiting our package containing our newly faceted gemstones; held up waiting for a few more pieces to be completed vs. having to send another package at a later date.   Expecting it within approximately 10 days and will attempt to write text, create tables and hopefully add the photos/videos/descriptions to those tables on our Newly Photographed page.  If all goes well, this could be done prior to leaving the country on our most recent upcoming trip.  Next months email for December will contain a list of what has been faceted, but check in prior to receiving the December Email/Newsletter as we do anticipate the photos/prices/descriptions to be online shortly if all goes well.

We also have many gemstones not photographed and available in our inventory and described in our Inventory Texts list for those who wish to peruse those lists.  Though many of the gemstones listed there might be photographed, there may be even more that are not photographed!   https://www.atggems.com/Inventory_Lists.htm

Gemstones in Cutting:

Most of the rough sent to our specialty cutter has been faceted and we hope to have them in our possession in a few weeks.  We will be traveling internationally again, so it is very possible that all the information, photos and videos of these new gemstones might not be posted until early November. 

Update - As noted further above, the recently faceted All That Glitters Rough will be back from one of our specialty cutters possibly shortly.  We have started faceting a Lab Grown Alexandrite in a Pixel Design if all goes well.  It has been dopped and as of the other day, the shape has been roughed in (Length/Width approx.) and working the first two facets of the pavilion (the P1’s) and hope to make some progress if time permits.

There is very little new rough presently in our inventory in general 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, Lab Grown Alexandrite and others….

Read a Quick Synopsis Generated by AI regarding L. Allen Brown/All That Glitters...

This has been added to our main landing page for All That Glitters:

An AI Search on "Who is L. Allen Brown", provides a quick synopsis of L. Allen Brown, founder of All That Glitters, and a general summary of the All That Glitters Business Model. We created a pdf file with this content, making no changes from what was found. This info was obtained across many websites to create a concise biography of L. Allen Brown and the special business which is known for selling fine quality faceted gemstones to the trade/pubic/collectors over the past 45+ years since the creation of All That Glitters.  (This will also be a link in the Learn More as well as All That Glitters In The News pages)

https://www.atggems.com/docs/LAllenBrown-Business-Synopsis_Pilot-AI.pdf

 

New Page –  Doped Glass Sold as Zultanite in Jewelry Stores in Turkey (and elsewhere!)

This All That Glitters article, written by L. Allen Brown recently, will be a permanent link on the All That Glitters Learn More page.

https://www.atggems.com/Turkish-Doped-Glass-as-Zultanite.htm

(This New Page will be deleted from our monthly emails starting in Sept but will still be available on our website!)

 

New Page – A previous Monthly News article is now a permanent page/link on the Learn More page

The Science of Origin Determination – A Lecture by GIA Lab members at the ATGA Lecture Series in February of this year and attended by L. Allen Brown, owner of All That Glitters.

https://www.atggems.com/Learn_More.htm

(This New Page will be deleted from our monthly emails starting in Sept but will still be available on our website!))

 

Updated Page – Our Tribute to Our Good Friend/Previous Fine Gemstone Cutters has been updated with information to be found at the bottom of this tribute page.  A nice biography of Stephen Kotlowski was discovered while doing research online and we wanted to share this information with those that remember him, have enjoyed his talented work or have heard or read about him in the past.

(This Updated Page will be deleted from our monthly emails starting in Sept but will still be available on our website!))

 

Newly Faceted or Newly Photographed Gemstones: 

Coming in the next month or so, approximately 24 newly faceted gemstones from All That Glitters Rough!

We also have many gemstones not photographed and available in our inventory and described in our Inventory Texts list for those who wish to peruse those lists.  Though many of the gemstones listed there might be photographed, there may be even more that are not photographed!   https://www.atggems.com/Inventory_Lists.htm

Gemstones in Cutting:

Yes, finally the package of our rough noted over months in the past was sent to one of our specialty cutters and we are awaiting the results.  Of the approximately 24 gemstones to be faceted, a few of the LuAg Lab Garnet, as well as a few Oregon Sunstones have been completed.  Hopefully in a month, we should have all back in the All That Glitters office…

What we are expecting back in the future includes:

  One Blue Flash Amethyst; Numerous Oregon Sunstone consisting of Clear, Straw Colored, Reddish/Orange and Pieces containing Copper Schiller; 7 pieces of the Neon LuAG Lab Grown Garnet; 1 piece of a partially worked 30+ct Color Changing Turkish Diaspore, originally from a 100ct piece of rough and that was put away for many years; and 2 pieces of very  special Color Changing Garnet from Africa.  Cutting should be completed over the next few months, as we have 24 pieces to be faceted and it does take time for the quality work that our specialty cutters is known for.

In the All That Glitters office, the owner, L. Allen Brown, has been faceting a Chrome YAG in a fancy emerald shape.  Due to the first time cutting this particular design, it has been a challenge aligning all the facets and due to the girdle being slightly thicker on one side and attempting to correct this, the gemstone will be smaller than anticipated and hoped.  This was been in the process of cutting for some time and hopefully will be completed in a few weeks if time at the lap is available.  It is possible that it could be given to one of our cutters to complete, with another gem being started in a previously successfully completed design. 

UPDATE – getting the girdle to align properly was taking too much time and it has been removed from the dop and the cutting process.  Eventually, when other rough is sent to our cutters, we will include this to be faceted…so this will be in inventory ‘sometime’ in the future.

There is very little new rough presently in our inventory in general 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, Lab Grown Alexandrite and others….

Trip to the Turkey (April 2026) – Precipitates Research and New Page on the All That Glitters Website!:

Color Change Diaspore (also called – Zultanite, Czarite, Ottomanite and Turkizite) was supposedly seen in stores, as there were typically signs indicating that they had Zultanite, but what they had wasn’t Zultanite/Color Changing Turkish Diaspore!   They are selling something that appeared to be doped glass or some sort of synthetic.  Both the small and large gems weren’t the right color nor were they displaying it property to show the color change (utilizing incandescent or fluorescent lights) – they were using lights with colored filters, which colored the gems as well as anything underneath them.  SO…the truth seems to have finally revealed itself and is described in this Month’s Gem News!  Refer to link directly above – This Month’s Gem News…

Gemstones in Cutting:

We are expecting to facet a Zircon in the future, in a cushion shape if we continue to go with that shape. 

• Ran into issues with the diagonal keel line on the Zircon so this was put aside for the future.

We are currently faceting a LuAG YAG, that Lab Grown (Ce:LuAG, lutetium aluminum garnet (Lu₃Al₅O₁₂) doped with cerium) that glows like lime green radiator fluid – looks like it is radioactive!  We have several pieces of this costly rough and will be faceting gems over x number of months or even years perhaps, and will be selling some of the pieces to other facetors.  To quote a GIA article on this material – “This material was introduced to the optics industry in the late 1990s and acts as a scintillator, a fluorescent crystal that absorbs high-energy radiation such as X-rays or gamma rays and reemits them as lower-energy visible light that is much easier to detect.”  The shape is a fancy oval, in a design that we have used twice before because it is unique and real sparkler!

Contemplating on sending some rough to one of our specialty cutters, but working out the details.

There is very little new rough presently in our inventory in general 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, Lab Grown Alexandrite and others….

Trip to the Turkey – April 2026!:

Off on a trip to Turkey, which produces some interesting gem material including: 

Color Change Diaspore (also called – Zultanite, Czarite, Ottomanite and Turkizite);

Jet; Chalcedony; Chrysoprase; Lavender Jade; Fire Opal; Amethyst; Pink Tourmaline

Note that the alternative names above to Diaspore, is a marketing ploy for sales by various businesses

and are trademarked names – but it is all from the same area and the official mineral name is called Diaspore. 

We have some of the finest examples of Color Change Diaspore and they may be viewed on the following page:

https://www.atggems.com/Photos_Diaspore.htm

ALSO, you can read more about Color Changing Diaspore in the International Gem Society (IGS) Article which also displays a

Photograph of two ovals from the All That Glitters Collection/Inventory – they have long since sold, but many even better ones exist currently in inventory and our pricing is typically far below expected retail prices and even wholesale prices at times.  All of our Diaspore has been faceted by well-known U.S. Cutters, known for their multi-award winning faceted gemstones, with one of these cutters being the Supreme Master Gem Cutter, Stephen Kotlowski.

Gemstones in Cutting:

We are expecting to facet a Zircon in the future, in a cushion shape if we continue to go with that shape. 

• Ran into issues with the diagonal keel line so this was put aside for the future.

We might be faceting a LuAG YAG, that Lab Grown (Ce:LuAG, lutetium aluminum garnet (Lu₃Al₅O₁₂) doped with cerium) that glows like lime green radiator fluid – looks like it is radioactive!  We have several pieces of this costly rough and will be faceting gems over x number of months or even years perhaps, and will be selling some of the pieces to other facetors.  To quote a GIA article on this material – “This material was introduced to the optics industry in the late 1990s and acts as a scintillator, a fluorescent crystal that absorbs high-energy radiation such as X-rays or gamma rays and reemits them as lower-energy visible light that is much easier to detect.” 

• Yes!  L. Allen Brown, the owner of All That Glitters, has recently finished faceting a square from this material and it weighs 29.08cts and measures approx. 15.5mm.  It glows like it is radioactive!  Reminds some of the lime yellow radiator fluid color.  It is priced at only $65/ct – as we have seen this material at $100/ct and as high as $187/ct (which is a crazy figure, but some businesses do ask some high numbers for this interesting, unique and much sought after material).

Contemplating on sending some rough to one of our specialty cutters, but working out the details.

There is very little new rough presently in our inventory in general 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, Lab Grown Alexandrite and others….

Trip to the 2026 Tucson Gem/Mineral Shows!:

Our first year was 1987 and we have been attending since that timeframe and did display in 1990 at the Holidome Show with some of our Brasilian Associates.  There were only a few major shows that were worthy to note, perhaps about 4 that I personally recall attending initially in the late 1980s – and now there are many more with more opening almost every year.
