Goldstone is the beautiful glass invention of Renaissance monks in Venice, Italy. The original Goldstone was golden in tone due to the presence of copper with solar colored scintillations, but later glassworkers invented a variety containing cobalt in place of copper. The microscopic inclusions of metallic cobalt crystallize out of the matrix of deep midnight blue glass as the gemstone slowly cools in an oxygen-deprived environment, leaving silvery star-like sparkles embedded in the gemstone, earning it the alternate name, "Stellaria". The stunning effect is that of gazing into the depths of the midnight sky! Reminds me of the prayer, "Hail and Blessed be the Son of God, born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold!" In this rosary, I have linked together eight millimeter gemstones with heavy brass wire and chain, and tied each decade together with ten millimeter Pater beads. The 2-1/4" solid Bronze handcast reproduction of the Elegant and Old Crucifix and a 1" solid Bronze handcast reproduction of the Our Lady of Good Hope Center piece are a lovely match to this gemstone!
