Yellow Topaz with Golden Hints, 2.93ct Oval - Brilliant!

This is the find of 2020! With prices of fine quality rough in Tourmaline and other species, it has become unaffordable for anything on the larger side. We encountered this beauty unexpectedly, as it was already faceted with a nice polish and literally caught our attention when in a case with minerals, as well as a small terminated crystal of similar color. The crystal itself would cut a smaller gemstone than this already faceted Tourmaline, and the price for the crystal was the price of the faceted Tourmaline. The color of the faceted gemstone was glowing whether it was indoor or diffused daylight. Since the gem was clean, had a good polish, well cut and priced below what one would normally expect, this had to be added to the All That Glitters inventory. We would describe this Tourmaline as a cushion, weighing 11.30cts(!), of a bright medium lizard green with hints of mint or light blue. Using a dichroscope on this gemstone, one can see both green and a light blue. The main body color is a glowing green with flashes/highlights of light blue or mint. The photo of the piece of rough is a similarly colored piece so you can have an idea of the color of the C and A/B axes. Mined in the Kunar Valley, Afghanistan, which has been producing Tourmaline since about the 1980s. Fine Tourmaline has been steadily increasing in price; Maine Tourmaline...

This 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.
