Goldstone Beads

Goldstone, also called monk’s gold, or of blue goldstone, stellaria, is crafted from glass and elements such as copper and cobalt, in accordance with a method developed in Venice during the late Renaissance. Brown and blue goldstone beads are the most common forms of goldstone beads, and are prized for their sparkling attributes: the glittering metals in blue goldstone remind some people of twinkling stars in the night sky.
