Goldstone
Deep space facility
Goldstone is a type of glittering glass made with metallic particles, typically copper, suspended within it to create a sparkling, aventurescent effect.
Despite its name and gemstone-like appearance, it is entirely synthetic, first produced by Italian glassmakers.
The reddish-brown variety studded with copper flecks is most common, though blue and green versions also exist.
Goldstone appears frequently in inexpensive jewelry and decorative objects.
