Each 15.5" strand of these 15mm x 20mm flat oval Blue Goldstone Beads contains approximately 20 beads. A striking deep blue color with lots of sparkle, blue goldstone provides exciting contrast to paler stones and beads or alone in necklace or bracelet designs.
Mineralogy: Goldstone (also called "Monk's stone") is a man-made material that has an interesting story surrounding its creation. The legends state that copper was accidentally dropped onto molten glass, and when the craftsmen saw how it crystallized and made the glass sparkle -- poof! Goldstone was born.
Metaphysical Properties: Although it is man-made, Goldstone contains copper, which is associated with increasing energy and vitality.
