I went to a thing called the International Gem and Mineral Show recently, and several of the retailers were offering goldstone. I was charmed by it (caring not at all what it is made out of, just that it is pwetty and I tried to buy some. But the show was so crowded that I couldn't get the attention of anyone who could sell me some.
