I just purchased a small piece of blue goldstone yesterday at a local metaphysical shop. They also had the "traditional" golden-bronze color, but I prefered the blue. Anyway, the shopkeeper informed me that this is NOT a natural stone, but a man-made one (and yet I still paid $2 for it....am I NUTS???).
It does look like a "real" stone....yet I wonder how it could possibly have any actual healing and/or magickal properties if it is synthetic??? I googled it and found a website that actually credits goldstone with opening the third-eye chakra, among other things....hmmmm???
Anyone have any thoughts on goldstone, or whether or not synthetic stones in general have any value other than aesthetic???
I look forward to hearing from other rockhounds....
