Goldstone is a man-made glass containing tiny copper crystals that create its glittery, "starry night" look — it is not a natural mineral or crystal. This is a decorative piece, not a health product or medical device. Is goldstone a real crystal? No. Despite being sold alongside crystals, goldstone is manufactured glass. We disclose this clearly so you know exactly what you're getting. Does it come with a stand? No, a display stand is sold separately, which lets the sphere sit steady and shows off its sparkle from every angle. How do I clean it? Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking or ultrasonic cleaners, which aren't necessary for glass and won't add any benefit. Will my sphere look exactly like the photo? Close, but each piece varies slightly in size and sparkle density since they're individually cut and polished from cast glass. What pairs well with this piece? It pairs nicely with other pieces from our goldstone collection, or with stones chosen for balance and wellness.
