Description Known as the ‘ambition’ stone, the Goldstone meaning is linked with boosting your drive and confidence, the essential mindset for paving the way for all your dreams to come true, regardless of how crazy. Goldstone is shrouded in mystery and legendary folklore that can be traced back to the Miotti family of Venice in the seventeenth century. This Italian family of glassmakers perfected the technique of creating a special kind of treated glass resulting in Goldstone. The Miotti family kept their technique secret for hundreds of years until an Italian glassmaker named Pietro Bigaglia brought it to the mainstream in the 19th century. Reddish-brown goldstone is the most common form containing tiny crystals of glittering metallic copper. Blue goldstone is achieved by substituting cobalt for copper. -Material: Brown Goldstone -Treatment: Man Made -Shape: Round -Grade: A -Size: (calibrated) 4mm x 6mm 5mm x 7mm 8mm x 10mm 8mm x 22mm 10mm x 12mm 13mm x 18mm 22mm x 30mm Use our beautiful, gemstone cabochons to create jewelry in order for you to bring crystals and their magical energy with you everywhere you go!
