14 KT GF Gold Stone Pendant 
GOLDSTONE:
It is a rust colored glass and the glittery flashes that you see are made from copper. When copper is added to molten glass, the copper crystallizes. Interestingly, even though goldstone is man-made, you will often find it listed with gemstones.
There are three stories around the origins of goldstone:
1. Sometime during the early 1800's, an Italian monk was making glass at his monastery. He accidentally spilled some copper filings into his molten glass and goldstone was born. The recipe for making goldstone was kept secret by the monks, but was handed down through time.
2. The second story also takes place in Italy. This story deals with the Murano glass company. Molten copper was accidentally spilled into molten glass at a glass factory in Murano. The accident created goldstone.
3. The final story is that goldstone was created by alchemists. One of the many problems that alchemists tried to solve was how to turn iron into gold. Goldstone is thought to be the result of one of these attempts. While goldstone is still used in jewelry today, goldstone's heyday was during the Victorian era, when women wore brooches, necklaces, earrings, and stick pins made using this glittery, very pretty glass.
