A short while ago you guys here at RTH ID'd a stone for me that came in a box of end cuts. I decided to play around with it last night and made a dremel cab out of it. It is so interesting, it looks different at every angle. Depending on the angle it looks black, purple or blue. Intense sparkles. I learned from here that gold stone is a man-made glass type of material. Here's a couple of pictures! ~K

That's really pretty nice! At the museum the rock buyer told me that goldstone is made in France and only the French know the recipe prbl something to do with ala d'carte

Goldstone is always pretty especially especially when the light hits it, I love the stuff and am on a quest for some green goldstone

Thanks everyone! The dremel worked beautifully with this material as it is soft. Ooooh, I bet the green goldstone is so pretty!
