Goldstone is a man-made glass infused with tiny metallic copper or other metallic particles, resulting in a glittering appearance. It is valued by jewelry designers for its consistent color, uniformity, and eye-catching sparkle. Goldstone is available in several colors, most commonly reddish-brown, blue, and green. Its durability and smooth finish make it suitable for a wide range of jewelry applications, from beads to cabochons.
