goldstone
Copper-flecked synthetic gem
Goldstone is a type of glittering glass made with copper or other metallic particles suspended in it, creating a sparkling effect that resembles a night sky full of stars.
Despite the name, it contains no gold.
The reddish-brown variety is most common, though blue and green versions exist.
Goldstone is used in jewelry and decorative objects, sometimes marketed as a semiprecious stone though it's entirely synthetic.
