Blue Goldstone (Man Made) A Grade Smooth Round Gemstone Beads

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: Blue Goldstone -Treatment: Man made -Shape: Round -Grade: A -Full (14in -15in) or Half Strands -Size: 4mm: 16 inch strands – 0.8mm hole (approximately 96 beads per strand) 6mm: 16 inch strands – 0.9mm hole (approximately 64 beads per strand) 8mm: 8 or 16 inch strands – 1mm hole (approximately 48/24 beads per strand) 10mm: 16 inch strands – 1.2mm hole (approximately 38/19 beads per strand) 12mm: 16 inch strands – 1.2mm hole (approximately 34 beads per strand) 14mm: 16 inch strands – 1.2mm hole (approximately 29 beads per strand) Use our beautiful, healing stone beads to create jewelry in order for you to bring crystals and their magical energy with you everywhere you go!
