Blue goldstone is manmade glass colored blue by cobalt with silvery flecks suspended in it. The invention of the original goldstone occurred by accident in seventeenth-century Venice by the Miotti family using copper rather than cobalt. The glass is made in a reducing furnace with cobalt added, it then crystallizes.
As a healing stone, it is the stone of "learning and communication" and has a gently uplifting quality. The metaphysical properties of cobalt are said to cloak and transform a traveler. It is a powerful, radiant and psychically active element.
Beautiful and useful too! Pendulums are used much the same way as applied kinesiology or muscle testing to help determine the answer to a question.
