Or goldstone (sometimes called aventurine) stringers. You can buy raw chunks of that on various glass sites in three colors that I know of, there may be more: gold, green, and blue/black. Simply encasing a piece with clear or other transparent colors and pulling it into stringers works well, but be careful! Aventurine is incredibly cranky stuff and has to be heated up very slowly and carefully or it will explode in your face. You'll need to work the stringer in a cool flame too, or you'll burn the glitter off.
