Green Goldstone
About Green Goldstone
Green Goldstone is a captivating man-made glass that sparkles with thousands of tiny copper crystals suspended within a rich forest-green base, creating a mesmerising effect reminiscent of a starlit night sky seen through a canopy of leaves. Like all goldstone varieties, it is a product of human craftsmanship rather than geological formation — originally created by Venetian glassmakers in the 17th century. Despite its man-made origins, Green Goldstone has developed a rich metaphysical tradition and is widely used in crystal healing for its uplifting, heart-centred energy.

A Note on Goldstone
Goldstone is one of the few crystals in common use that is entirely man-made, created by melting silica glass with copper oxide in a low-oxygen environment. Despite this, many crystal healers work with it effectively, believing that human intention and the properties of its copper content give it genuine energetic qualities. It is always sold honestly at Embrace Bohemia as a glass material rather than a natural stone.
