#firemountaingems Though not a stone--or gold!--this manufactured "gemstone material" is known by many names: "aventurine glass," stellaria, gold star glass, monkstone or monk's gold. The final two names refer to the urban legend that #goldstone was created accidentally by Italian monks in the 1600s. There are earlier samples, however, including a smooth amulet from Iran that dates to the 1100s to 1200s. The earliest written reference to the material we call goldstone, however, is Vincenzo Miotti of #Venice being granted exclusive license by the Venetian head of state (the Doge) to create this sparkling opaque glass. It has been linked to the medieval art of alchemy almost from its creation. A deep red variation--called haematinum or purpurin--may have been made by the #Romans, with the recipe getting lost during the #DarkAges. Modern goldstone can be created either with #copperflecks or with other metallic compounds such as #cobalt #manganese or chromium oxide. These are used in goldstones made using colors (respectively) such as purple, blue and green. #kbrownjewellery

#amethystjewellery #amethystpoem #Evening Sky Oh! Sunset glowed orange! I wish you had been here to see the beauty of its rendering... Mixed red and gold, resting on Amethyst pillow clouds with Satin ribbons lacing the sky. Soon, quietly disappearing into the Evening calm. I wish you had been here to see The glorious sky painting God given. Cynthia Copyright © Cynthia Alvez | Year Posted 2012

#hopepoem #emilydickenson #creativepeople #creativelifes #hopenecklace #kbrownjewellery.etsy.com 'Hope' is the thing with feathers— That perches in the soul— And sings the tune without the words— And never stops—at all— And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard— And sore must be the storm— That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm— I've heard it in the chillest land— And on the strangest Sea— Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb—of Me. by Emily Dickinson
