Mineralogie & Entstehung

Blue goldstone is technically not a natural mineral but a man-made glass. It consists of melted quartz sand, to which copper or cobalt particles are added. When cooled slowly, these particles crystallize and create the typical starry sparkle. The blue color comes from cobalt, while the brown variant (goldstone) comes from copper. Blue goldstone is mainly produced in Italy and China.

Pflege & Reinigung

Blue goldstone has a hardness of about 5–6 and is relatively easy to care for. It can be cleaned under running water. Since it is a glass product, it should be protected from hard impacts (risk of breakage). To recharge it, moonlight or an amethyst geode is suitable. Direct sunlight is harmless, as its color does not fade.

Verwechslungsgefahren & Qualität

Blue goldstone is sometimes mistakenly sold as a natural stone. It is always synthetic – its uniform, intense sparkle is a sure sign, as no natural mineral shows this pattern. It may visually resemble lapis lazuli or blue sunstone but is easily distinguishable by its consistent glitter.
