Goldstone Tumbled Stone - 20-30 mm

Goldstone Tumbled Stone, a smooth polished piece in warm reddish-brown shot through with a fine metallic copper sparkle that flickers as it catches the light. Each stone is rounded and glossy, with the glittering specks scattered evenly through the deep colour. It sits comfortably in the hand or pocket.

Goldstone is traditionally associated with confidence, ambition and drive, and is commonly used as an uplifting, energizing stone. People often carry it for a boost of motivation, keep it on a desk during goal-focused work, or hold it when they want a spark of determination. The lively sparkle makes it a popular pick-me-up piece.

Each Goldstone Tumbled Stone is man-made and individual, so the depth of colour and the density of the copper sparkle vary from piece to piece.

Geological Information
Goldstone is a man-made glass, not a natural mineral. It is produced by dissolving copper oxide into molten silica glass and cooling it slowly in a low-oxygen environment, which forms tiny octahedral copper crystals that create the sparkle. The most common form is this reddish-brown copper variety; blue and green versions use cobalt or manganese instead. It originated in seventeenth-century Venice, traditionally attributed to the Miotti family of Murano glassmakers, and carries a lasting association with alchemy and the pursuit of turning base metals into gold. It is at Mohs 5.5 to 6 and is manufactured today mainly in Italy and China.
