Goldstone is a type of glass that is often mistaken for a natural gemstone due to its shimmering appearance. It is made by suspending tiny metallic particles, typically copper or copper salts, within a glass matrix. This unique combination gives goldstone its characteristic sparkly or glittery appearance, which closely resembles the look of natural aventurine quartz or other minerals containing reflective mineral inclusions.
