Blue Sandstone

Blue Sandstone brings an eye-catching shimmer to any ring. Whether used in chunks or crushed to a dust, it adds a beautiful blue hue that resembles a starry night sky.

Also known as blue goldstone or monk's gold, this inlay is formed by melting quartz sand, cobalt, feldspar, manganese, chromium, and copper in a process believed to have been created in the 17th Century in Venice. This technique was a carefully guarded secret for centuries. This stone sits at a 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Available in small pieces or as dust. Leave us a note in the 'Order special instructions' section of the Your Cart page if you prefer dust!
