Goldstone tumbled

A variety of Goldstone

What is Goldstone tumbled?

The popularity of goldstone tumbled comes from its glittering effect. Though it's primarily reddish-brown, this artificially made semi-precious stone is produced in many other colors. It is a popular material for tumbled stones and sculptures, but it's regularly cut into cabochons, beads, hearts, spheres, pendants, and arrowheads, or carved into figurines.
