Green Goldstone Pierced Pendant
Green Goldstone Pierced Pendant from China
Goldstone
Goldstone is not a natural mineral, but a synthetic glassy material with a distinctive shimmer caused by trapped copper particles. The stone usually has a warm brownish-red to golden brown colour, although blue and green varieties also exist. Due to its sparkling appearance, goldstone is often used in jewellery and decorative objects.
Goldstone was probably first manufactured in Italy in the 17th century, possibly by glassmakers in Venice. Although an artificial product, it is often offered alongside natural stones in the mineral trade because of its attractive appearance. Its hardness is around 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, similar to ordinary glass.

Pierced Pendants
Pierced pendants are polished and cut (precious) stones with a drill hole, making them easy to wear on a cord or chain. This makes them a popular choice for jewellery. In most cases, the pendants are pierced widthwise, from left to right.
The pierced pendants are available in various shapes and sizes, including drop, oval, point and heart. Some of the range is manufactured in China, while other pendants come from Madagascar. The pierced diameter varies by model and is usually between 2 and 4 mm. We sell the pierced pendants individually, with some having a minimum order of 5 pieces. Unfortunately, we do not currently have any matching cord or chain in our range!
The vast majority of our range consists of natural and unprocessed products.
However, this particular product has been processed, made or helped a little by, for example, painting, staining, irradiating or heating the product.
We always try to indicate this clearly, so you know exactly what you are buying. Any questions about this? Then please Contact with us!
