Multi-Colored OREGON Sunstone, 8.47ct, Faceted by the Owner of ATG!
About the Item
An Incredibly Beautiful Precision Cut 8.47ct Oregon Sunstone faceted by the Owner of All That Glitters - L. Allen Brown. Rough hails from the famous Dust Devil Mine. Initial 36+ct piece of rough was trimmed and preformed (yield was 23% - typical expectation is only 20%) - see image below. Body color seemed to be clear to the standard champagne frequently seen from this locality. There was a spot of color to the side - and depending on the axis it was viewed on, it was either a green or a blush color, due to the fact that Sunstone is dichroic and one can frequently expect to see a red or green from this locality depending on how it is viewed. There was some haziness perhaps around this color zone, possibly being some Copper Schiller, but it wasn't obvious. As the gemstone was being faceted, at the prepolish stage, one could see that Schiller was definitely present and it was unknown if this would be a plus or perhaps running across the gem in a way that would hinder the brilliance and interfer with the beauty of the finished gem. After the final polish and soaking off the dopping material, the finished gemstone is incredibly beautiful and brilliant. Many surprises are present - the body color seems to be Champagne but because of that small color dot on the side, one can see Green as well as some Blush, and possibly a Copper color coming from the Schiller(??). The gem seems to color shift depending on the lights, going from various body colors - under office fluorescent lights, it appears to be a yellow green, but one can see more of a blush or even beige under different lights/wavelengths. Whatever light it is under, the 100k Diamond Polish displays a mirror-like surface and it is very brilliant - as it is turned/tilted, various colors flash around this piece. Though it has Schiller, it is hidden at the angle at which it grew, with respect to the table. This is one of those gemstones that one must see in person and under various lights as the photo and the video just doesn't do the various colors justice as the eye sees something far more interesting than what the camera has captured! Shape is a Shield with a Brilliant bottom which is why it sparkles so much. Thanks to Peter Torraca for providing the design. Photos displayed here include the finished gemstone; the video; the rough; beginning to facet the crown; initial crown facets are roughed in; and pre-polish is complete and schiller can be seen under the bright light.
There are not many U.S. Naturally Found Gemstones, but Oregon Sunstone is One of them! It is also gaining in popularity. We have various others in inventory for those who wish red, orange, light green, more schiller, all schiller, etc. We have been digging Sunstone since 2007 in the high deserts of Oregon and we know most, if not all, of the mine owners up there!

- Flame Shaped Imperial Topaz Multi-Colored Sapphire Accents - 18kt Custom PendantLocated in Methuen, MAThis incredibly bright and colorful wispy design was created around the important Imperial Topaz that is the center of the piece, and is only found in one area - Ouro Preto, Brasil. The owner of All That Glitters has been to this location and UNESCO Site a number of times. Obtaining the more common yellow Topaz is difficult enough, but the more rare orangy, apricot, peach, purply or even red is far more rare and quite expensive. When this uniquely shaped, bright, wonderfully colored (color varies under different lighting conditions and the flashes will also vary producing an aesthetically pleasing play of color/light/sparkle), it was a gemstone that was destined for the All That Glitters Collection. Once in the collection, Derek Katzenbach of Maine (gemstone cutter and jewelry designer - multi-award winning one too!), a person whom we have known for many years, was contacted to work his magic and create something unique - and this piece is the result of many months of designing/creating. We entered it into the AGTA's (American Gem Trade Association) Annual Spectrum Awards Contest for Jewelry upon completion. We have attached an image showing Katzenbach's incredibly designed Kaleidoscope using Maine Tourmalines. Words can't describe it and the price once completed hit the six figure mark - workmanship and designs like this is no longer seen. Believed to now reside in the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) museum. This attention to detail, color and design is also seen in "Fall in New England" which is now being currently offered for sale.
