"When I first saw these on TV I knew I had to have one. I bought a small one to start with and now I'm going for bigger and bigger. Every one I show them to falls in love with them as I did and wants me to get them one. I plan one buying a lot more before they go away. I love the way the glow in the light and just the regular color of them. I will be a lover of this gem forever."

"The color is exactly as pictured, I think mine is a little bigger than a half carat but I don't have a scale to see for sure. When I saw this one online I thought what a cool gem to add to my collection, and boy was I ever right!"

"I purchased two of these and set them in sterling silver trillon leverback earrings for myself. Now, I intend to get a larger set of rounds and set them in studs for my son. Blue is his favorite color. I'm sure he'll absolutely LOVE these!"

Fast Facts
| Chalcedony is a species name for all cryptocrystalline (fine-grained) quartzes as well as the name of a specific gemstone in that species. The actual chalcedony gemstones come in a range of blue-white-gray hues. |
| Chalcedony is listed as one of the stones in the foundation of the city walls of the New Jerusalem in Revelation (21:19). |
| Its durability, beauty, and abundance made chalcedony one of the earliest raw materials used by humans. |
Originally shaped into knives, tools, and containers, chalcedony eventually was used as an adornment, sometimes even carved into cameos.
|
Sources for chalcedony include Brazil, India, Madagascar, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Uruguay, and the United States (California).
|
|
Chalcedony represents a family of fine-grained (cryptocrystalline) quartz crystals including agate, chyrsoprase, bloodstone, jasper, carnelian, moss agate, onyx, and sard, as well as one variety known specifically as chalcedony. On Mohs’ scale of hardness, all chalcedonies are 6.5 – 7. In its natural state, chalcedony has a waxy or dull luster.
Color
The actual chalcedony stone itself is bluish-white-gray.
