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.
