Goldstone is believed to have originated in the 17th century, created by monks who were experimenting with alchemy and, by accident, came up with this beautiful mixture of gold flecks in glass. Venetian glass makers refined the recipe, but they made only brown goldstone, which is glass shimmering with copper flecks. Green goldstone beads take their color from chromium oxides, instead of copper. We've explained more about the history of this striking gem in a blog post called "Gem Profile: Goldstone."
