Goldstone Crystal Turtle Pendant

Goldstone, often referred to as an energy stone, is commonly mistaken for a mineral but is actually a glittering form of glass, created accidentally by humans long ago. In essence, it is a man-made, shimmering glass.

According to folklore, Goldstone originated when an alchemist or a monk, during an experiment or while crafting a secret recipe, accidentally spilled copper shavings into molten glass. This resulted in the creation of a hard, glossy material, which explains the various trade names associated with this gemstone, such as monk gold, gold flux, monk's stone, and Goldstone itself.

Historically, Goldstone was known as Aventurine glass, a name derived from the Italian word "adventuring," meaning "accidental," "by luck," or "by chance."

Goldstone is believed to be a stone of aspiration and ambition, inspiring liveliness, energy, courage, and a positive outlook. It enhances the drive to achieve goals and the confidence to succeed. As a calming and healing stone, Goldstone is thought to promote vitality and vigor.
