Crushed Green Goldstone Sand (Synthetic), Glittering Glass, Medium Crush, Sand Size, 2mm - 0.25mm

Green goldstone is a synthetic, glittering glass that was originally manufactured in Venice during the 17th century. Green goldstone is made in a low-oxygen reducing environment and contains tiny crystals of chromium oxides within a silica matrix. During production, silica, chromium, and other metal oxides are melted together and then cooled very slowly to form these tiny glittering crystals. Goldstone does polish up nicely and would be great in your inlay or jewelry projects.

MATERIAL SIZE

Our medium material is considered to be sand sized (very coarse sand to fine sand), ranging between 2 millimeters to 0.25 millimeters. This size is great for most woodworking inlays, memorial and resin jewelry, orgonite pyramids, ring inlay, resin molds, mosaics, terrariums, bezel cups, resin art, embellishments, and metaphysical projects. This material is also a great gift for makers looking for unique supplies or reiki practitioners that enjoy top quality stones.
