8ST444-GL: Goldstone Round 8mm - 15-16" Strand

Goldstone contains no gold, and is not a stone, but is beautiful enough to often be classified as a gemstone. This manmade gem consists of tiny copper flecks suspended within glass. It is most commonly reddish brown, but is also available in either blue or green. Some practitioners of alternative medicine believe the copper inclusions can improve circulation and decrease arthritis pain.
