On an 18 inch, 1mm sterling silver, 925, snake chain..... By Andrew....Original dress jewellery for original thinking people.....With free UK postage and Velvet Pouch of course.I like people to know what they are looking at and what they may be buying, so here is some stuff about the Gemstone (Semi Precious) Goldstone..... Goldstone (gemstone) Goldstone is a type of glittering glass made in a low-oxygen reducing atmosphere. The finished product can take a smooth polish and be carved into beads, figurines, or other artifacts suitable for Semiprecious stone, and in fact Goldstone is often mistaken for or misrepresented as a natural material. Another common name for the material is Aventurine glass, based on the original Italian name Avventurina (from Avventura, "adventure" or "chance"). It is also sometimes called "Stellaria" or "Sun Sitara" (Sitara = "star" in Sanskrit) for its starry internal reflections, or "Monk's gold" or "Monkstone" from folkloric associations with an unnamed monastic order. The original manufacturing process for Goldstone was invented in seventeenth-century Venice by the Miotti family, which was granted an exclusive license by the Doge. Persistent folklore describes Goldstone as an accidental discovery by an unnamed Italian monastic order or medieval alchemists, but there is no pre-Miotti documentation to confirm this. The most common form of Goldstone is reddish-brown, containing tiny crystals of metallic copper that require special conditions to form properly. Goldstone also exists in other colour variants based on other elements. Cobalt or manganese can be substituted for copper; the resulting crystals have a more silvery appearance and are suspended in a strongly coloured matrix of the corresponding ionic colour, resulting in Blue Goldstone or Purple Goldstone respectively. I will not sell anything that I would not like to receive myself, however, nobody is perfect, and if you receive something that is not OK then please contact me and we will sort it out....Please remember that gemstones are not manufactured in a factory and therefor every one may have an imperfection of some kind. From the crown jewels to more modest pieces, the same rule applies. It is what makes each gemstone Unique......With photographs, pieces are selected at random, (Not the best pieces I have), they are not polished or treated in any way and, specialist lighting to make them look better is not used. There may be some slight differences in colouration from the picture published to what you may receive, but otherwise the quality will be the same. Thank you for looking....have a brilliant day...kindest regards....xGoldstone Gemstone Heart Pendant/18 Inch 925 Sterling Silver, 1mm Snake Chain
