Goldstone is a man-made glittering colored glass. It’s made by melting silica, borax, copper oxide, and other chemicals. It mainly has a reddish-brown or golden color with copper flecks. Goldstone is smooth and polished with reflective inclusions. Goldstone's meaning can be ambition, inspiration, and power.

Swans usually stand for symbols of grace and beauty. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, found swans sacred. They also had the honor of pulling Apollo's chariot. Zeus took the form of a swan to be with Ledo, a mortal. This shows the swan serving as a tie between different dimensions in mythology.

The glimmering Goldstone is neither made of gold nor is it even a stone but that doesn’t take away from its shimmering splendor. This glittering glass has gone by many names including Aventurine Glass, Gold Star, and Monk’s Stone too. While it’s often called Goldstone thanks to its rich shades, there is also green goldstone, blue goldstone, and brown goldstone too. The origins of Goldstone are murky. It was believed to be created by Italian monks in the seventeenth century. However, there are earlier records of Goldstone being here - whether that was in Iran in the twelfth century or by the Romans. Goldstone can be solidly traced to Venice and Vincenzo Miotti who was tasked by the head of state to create this gorgeous piece of glass.
