GOLDSTONE chip beads with sparkling copper glare, scattering luck and optimism.
The brilliant glare of this stone is enough to attract the jeweler’s and the user’s attention and convince them that they have something special to offer. Even in the form of small dots, their intensity is comparable to the brilliance of a sunbeam, which is where one of its many names comes from. Although classified as a stone, it does not exist in nature in this species, but is made of molten quartz and other chemical constituents depending on color. To create the golden variation, copper salts are added. As the mixture cools, copper produces shiny particles, each of which is a microscopic copper crystal. For other types, other coloring agents such as chromium oxide for greens, cobalt compounds for blue and manganese for purple are used. Folklore beliefs tell us that the stone recipe was created by chance by alchemists, while trying to produce gold or monks practicing alchemy.
