Goldstone (sometimes referred to as monkstone) is a man made material with official origins dating back to seventeenth century Italy. The 'stone' sparkles or glitters as a result of the tiny metallic copper crystals within. The most common form of Goldstone is a reddish brown colour but it can also be found as a deep navy blue.
Unfortunately, not long after I cut the stone for her, her house was robbed and her jewellery box was taken. The stone I had cut for her was inside the jewellery box at the time. I only discovered this recently when she asked if I was able to cut her another piece. This pendant is the result:

Subsequently, my friend has asked for another couple of pieces which I have now cut for her.
This is a blue goldstone heart finished with a sterling silver bail:
