What is Goldstone?

Goldstone is an artificial stone made mainly of copper glass. It was invented by Italian monks in the 17th century as a way to imitate the characteristics of natural precious stones, but at a more affordable price. Glass is mixed with small amounts of copper, which gives it its characteristic golden appearance.

Goldstone stone is manufactured in various places around the world, but most of it is produced in Italy and China. The manufacturing process is complex and requires a great deal of technical knowledge to achieve optimal quality by mixing different materials in the right quantities. Glass is melted at high temperatures, mixed with copper and then re-melted to give it its characteristic golden appearance.

In jewelry, Goldstone stone is used in earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. It is a popular stone for jewelry making due to its golden appearance and affordable price. In addition to its use in jewelry, it is also used in interior decoration, such as in the manufacture of figures and decorative objects.

Goldstone stone is also considered a lucky stone and is believed to have healing properties. It is often used in meditation and therapy to help achieve inner peace and emotional stability.
