ABOUT GOLDSTONES - Goldstone is a type of glittering glass made in a low-oxygen reducing atmosphere. The finished product can take a smooth polish and be carved into beads, figurines, or other artifacts suitable for semiprecious stone, and goldstone is often mistaken for or misrepresented as a natural material. It is man made.
