A One-of-a-Kind Gem collection Glenn has been faceting for over 40 years. He faceted his very first gem in 1974, a single red marble. There are roughly 50 gems in his collection from the 1970s. His faceting skills developed very rapidly, and he began competing in gem competitions in 1978. He competed at the highest levels of competition for over 20 years, winning numerous national and international events. There are over 35 competition gems in his collection. Glenn was enthusiastic about faceting gems in almost every possible material. There are very unique gemstones in his collection, made from very unique materials like Kunzite, Ablygonite, ZIncite, Strontium Titanate and rare synthetics. He faceted extremely tiny gems, and very large gems. He has faceted expensive Cornflower Blue Sapphire rough, and nearly worthless clear Telegraph Insulator Glass rough, with amazing performance and quality. Every gem in his collection is a Masterpiece of faceting history. Forty two gems have been selected to become a museum collection at the future United States Faceters Guild (USFG) museum. Several selections of his natural gemstones have been purchased by gemstone investors. The remaining gemstones, over 1/2 of his entire collection have been organized into lots, and will be made available to enthusiastic collectors.

The Historical Museum Gem Collection Funding Effort A funding effort will be underway to purchase the Historical Gem Collection from Glenn. The target goal for funding this collection is $5,000.00 minimum. Once fully funded, this collection will be donated to the United States Faceters Guild Museum, to keep a perpetual history of The Best of Glenn Klein s designs and cuts. Funding will be established by direct requests for donations to the museum collection. Revenues above and beyond the asking price for individual lots of the Glenn Klein Historical Gems will also be applied toward the museum collection fund. In addition, the USFG has offered to match Museum Collection revenues up to a maximum of $2,500.00. All proceeds of this effort will go directly to Glenn and Rhoda Klein. All purchases from Glenn s collection will be considered donations to the Glenn Klein Historical Collection Fund, and will be identified on a receipt as such. Thus all donations to this collection should be considered tax deductions (This must be confirmed via your own tax accountant). A Museum Collection commemorative plaque will be designed and presented at a Museum Collection dedication ceremony, proposed at the 2019 TGMS USFG Hobnob, in Tucson. All individuals who contribute to this effort will be recognized on this commemorative plaque. See Page 8 for Order/Donation Instructions: Page 7
