Despite what its name implies, there is no gold in Goldstone; in fact, Goldstone is man-made glass infused with copper particles.
One story has Goldstone originally being created by French monks when alchemists were working towards creating gold. In time the secret of making it was lost.
Another story had goldstone being (re)discovered or recreated in the 17th century when Venetian glass maker Vincenzo Miotti was credited with the invention of goldstone. It was invented by the Miotti family in Venice during the seventeenth century. And, because glass is made from quartz sand (silica), Goldstone has found its way into the healing community.
Goldstone, like diamond, is a good deflector of unwanted energies.
