Antique 19th Century Goldstone Cross
Antique 19th Century Goldstone Cross
This antique goldstone cross was made in the 19th century, but it has a decidedly modern appeal. The cross's goldstone surface is a burnt orange color, with metallic flecks that sparkle with every movement. What is goldstone? Legend has it that goldstone was first created by accident by Italian monks in the 1600s; it's not actually a stone at all, but a type of glittering glass produced in a low-oxygen reducing atmosphere. It contains flecks of copper, and thus it is known for its healing properties. Red goldstone like this is known by energy healers as a source of confidence and energy. The total drop with bale is about 3.5 cm x 2 cm wide. The bale will accomodate most chains, or you can add the one pictured. The Vintage Mary McFadden Off-the-Shoulder Dress pictured is also available.
Great antique condition; there is a minuscule chip on the backside which is not noticeable unless closely inspected, and is not visible when worn in any case.
