I guess those beads are the gold stones

Yes, the goldstones are actually made of glass.

Surpised to see the photos of the silvers & stones - that's what I get for signing off early last night!

I think a few of the silvers will be on my wish list.

Great detective work Sita & Sherlock

OMG I had no idea goldstone was just glass!

by soxfan Tue Aug 16, 2011 3:56 pm

can anyone tell just by looking at the pics what the pricing will be on the silvers? I am thinking falling leaves is price 1, autumn splendor, whirl price 2, bird, bear, expectation price 3?

Does anyone know if the unfaceted Goldstones (which are apparantly just glass) be the same price as the faceted "real" stones or will they be priced like the Jades, Snowflake Obsidian, and Smooth Rose Quartz at Glass 1 price?

yes it's not a natural gemstone
it's actually man made.
here is the information on goldstone:
Goldstone is a type of glittering glass made in a low-oxygen reducing atmosphere. The finished product can take a smooth polish and be carved into beads, figurines, or other artifacts suitable for semiprecious stone, and in fact goldstone is often mistaken for or misrepresented as a natural material.

Hon, that's like saying diamonds are just coal. Goldstones and formed in nature, not over a lamp by an artisan.

I think the confusion may be that the red and blue goldstones may be the "glass 2" price beads mentioned earlier. This makes them more expensive that the glass 1 of the Rose Quartz and other smooth stones but more easy on the bead budget.

Naturally made glass like obsidian ?
Actually just looked it up and it is man made, but not made like normal glass beads.

THANKS for sharing...really a nice release isn't it?

by Molamola Tue Aug 16, 2011 5:57 pm

Great to see them all together. The Paternity and Maternity ebads look wonderful. I would have really liked one except being S/G no doubt they'll be out of my reach. They doo look lvoely in the two colours though. Rolling waves looks lovely from what I can see and all the glass is fabulous.

I shall be very poor.
