Description:
Blue Goldstone beads are manmade synthetic gemstones crafted from glass with copper or other metallic inclusions, giving them their signature glittery, dark blue appearance. They are smooth, round/ball-shaped, measuring 8mm in diameter, making them uniform and ideal for crafting. Each strand measures approximately 7.75 inches. Despite being synthetic, these beads have gained immense popularity for their eye-catching shimmer and deep color.
Usage:
These beads are versatile and widely used in various types of jewelry and crafts. They are perfect for:
-
Making bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and anklets, either on their own or combined with other gemstones.
-
Creating rosary-style chains or mala beads for spiritual purposes.
-
Adding a touch of glamour to keychains, charms, and bag decorations.
Metaphysical Properties:
Blue Goldstone is often associated with:
-
Inspiration and ambition: It is believed to help individuals reach for the stars and achieve their dreams.
-
Confidence and positivity: The sparkles within the stone symbolize light in the darkness, inspiring hope and optimism.
-
Energy amplification: Many consider it to be a stone of vitality and renewed strength, aiding in focus and determination. Although these properties are rooted in metaphysical traditions and not scientifically proven, they add an element of symbolism to the bead's appeal.
Countries Where It Is Mined:
As Blue Goldstone is a manmade material, it is not mined like natural gemstones. It is produced in controlled environments and is said to have been originally developed by Venetian glassmakers in Italy. Today, it is manufactured in various parts of the world, including China, India, and Europe, to meet global demand.
