It is produced by a special treatment of natural glass with copper shavings and is available in dark blue and brown. It is considered to be the stone of honesty, it promotes peace of mind and renewal. In the Bible it is identified with the tenth tribe of Zabulun.

Synthetic gemstones are stones with the same chemical composition and properties as their natural counterparts, except that the synthetic ones were made in a laboratory. In other words, natural gemstones were created in nature many thousands of years ago, while synthetic ones are man-made using the same materials. A common misconception is the confusion between the terms “synthetic gemstone” and “gem imitation or simulant”.
All minerals used for the creation of our kombolois are mostly gemstones used to craft jewelry. Please treat your komboloi with care. Inclusions, cracks and breakage surfaces are a natural phenomenon and should never be associated with wear and tear.
