✨ What is Blue Sandstone?
Blue Sandstone (also known as blue goldstone or blue aventurine glass) is a man-made glass created by adding copper particles to molten glass. The manufacturing process originated in 17th century Venice, Italy – legend says it was accidentally discovered by monks in a glassmaking monastery. Today, it is produced primarily in India and China.

Color Variations of Sandstone:

Why 128 Facets?
Standard faceted beads typically have 16 or 32 facets. Our 128-facet beads feature precision-cut angles that dramatically increase light reflection, creating exceptional brilliance and sparkle – maximizing the stone's glittering copper particle effect.

Blue Sandstone vs. Natural Blue Stones:

Please Note: Blue sandstone is man-made, not a natural gemstone. However, its beauty, affordability, and consistent, brilliant sparkle make it a staple in jewelry making worldwide. It is particularly popular for celestial, "starry night," and throat chakra designs.
