The Goldstone Legend
Gold Stone is not really a stone and the mystery behind how it was created still exists today. One story is that during the 1800s and Italian Monk was making glass at a monastery, he accidentally spilled copper fillings into his molten glass, and the result was glass with sparkling flecks. The recipe for making gold stone was supposedly kept a secret by the monks and passed down over time.
An alternative story says gold stone also was born in Italy. Its creation was said to be born in a factory in Murano where some molten copper was accidentally spilled into the molten glass and the accident resulted in the beautiful beads and art glass we still love today.
So get your sparkle on!
