[QUOTE="Kimbert, post: 949605, member: 9204"]The flakes are more gold with no blue hues but maybe there are different colour variations? what a pretty stone though!!! All the stones have it, but it is not visible from the top surface, only on the vertical edge (shown in the second picture) and yes the sparkles appear to be distributed within and not on the surface. It does look something like this goldstone but of course the glitters are not nearly so prominant and not the same colour as what I've google imaged so far, but like you say, that's not to say there's not such a thing! ah yes, the colours look a lot like the gold sheen obsidian! like in these earrings for example where one part is quite black and another has got the same coloured speckles! I finally did get a better camera but got it second-hand with no usb cable, so once I get that I can try a better photo! (My phone is really bad for close-ups!!)
