Goldstone (Aventurine Glass) is available in several forms; Frit, Chips, or Cullet (a raw size that allows you to crush it yourself). Glass is 104 COE, and compatible with Moretti rods.
In frit form, you can use it to decorate your beads. It's available in either gold or blue.
In chip form, you can use it to make stringers or decorating beads. The chips vary in size, but average 1/4". Stringers made from chips are more dense than a goldstone prefabricated rod. Make a stringer by picking up a chip and encasing it with clear glass, or any transparent glass. Pull and marver it to the desired length. Work it cool, as heat burns off the "sparkle". |
