Beginners Guide to Getting Stoned... I mean Stones! (Copper Goldstone)

All that glitters is not gold... but that doesn't mean it isn’t pretty!

   Such is the case with Copper Goldstone. A man-made glass, this gem has been used to create beautiful jewelry since the 12th or 13th century. Although the earliest evidence of its existence is an ancient amulet from Iran dating back to that time, the modern production of this gem is credited to the Miotti family in the 17th century when they were granted an exclusive license to manufacture it in Venice.

   It is easy to see why they sought the license. Although it is not as hard as natural gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, or rubies (it has a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5), its beautiful copper coloring and eye-catching gold flecks make it a fantastic choice for jewelry and other decorative items.

   While it is undeniably sparkly, Copper Goldstone is more than just a pretty gem. It symbolizes inspiration, ingenuity, and the power of creativity and self-belief. Known as the stone of ambition, it is thought to assist in attaining goals. From a healing perspective, it is believed to revitalize the mind and body, encourage healthy circulation, and support tissue regeneration due to the energy-conducting properties of copper. Additionally, it is said to reduce tension, energize the wearer, and promote a positive attitude.

Who could ask for more from such a lovely stone?

   Whether you are drawn to its spiritual properties or simply captivated by its sparkling beauty, Copper Goldstone makes a wonderful addition to any collection.
