Cool Facts:
Goldstone is not a natural stone but a glass with copper crystals suspended in it, first made in 17th-century Venice.
Legend says monks made it by accident when copper filings fell into molten glass – hence its Italian name avventurina, "by chance".
Blue goldstone is the same glass coloured with cobalt.
