Goldstone Cabochons |
|||

Goldstone is manmade and more of a glass than a stone. The original recipe for goldstone was a well kept secret of the Vatican that only recently has been shared with others. Although not a natural stone it is a beautiful material which makes sparkling lovely cabochons. Most commonly found in brown it does come in other colors including blue and green. |

Indian Paint stone is found in Death Valley California and can no longer be collected since Death Valley became a National Park. It is also known as Indian Paint Stone Picture Jasper and Death Valley Picture Jasper. Technically, it may not be a true jasper as it has not completely become silica. It has beautiful patterns that appear to be painted on and some great coloring with veins of hematite. |
