"THE STONE IS VERY, VERY SMALL AND DIDN'T APPEAR THAT WAY FROM THE ONLINE PICTURE. THE COLOR, HOWEVER, DOES MATCH SOME EARRINGS AND A RING I HAVE. I HAD PLANNED ON MAKING THIS STONE INTO A PENDANT, BUT NOW HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT DOING IT DUE TO THE SMALL SIZE."

"From the packaging, it was obvious that this stone was returned. I had no problem with it, though. Looked just like the ones on JTV, lavenderish-grey with a peachy inernal glow when the lighting is right. My computer shows it as a little more violet than the stone actually is. I like this stone and I'll be adding it to my collection."

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.
