Chalcedony Description

In Chakra practices, Chalcedony is commonly called the “Stone of Communication”. Chalcedony, a mix of silica cryptocrystalline and moganite, is the most common mineral found in petrified wood and fossils. In its purest form, Chalcedony is transparent, but it comes in an array of colors including black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, red, pink, white, yellow and other combinations of colors. It can be found in many areas of the world, but it is most notably produced in Brazil, Russia, Madagascar, Mexico and the United States.

History

Chalcedony was used in tool making in 32,000 B.C. and uncovered on archaeological digs in Central Australia.  It was also prominent in jewelry worn in Mesopotamia and Ancient Turkey.  We owe the name Chalcedony to the Greek civilization as it is widely accepted that the stone was named after the town of Chalcedon in Asia Minor. The Romans prized Chalcedony by using it to create magic amulets, seals, rings, brooches, bracelets and necklaces.  The great Roman orator, Cicero, was believed to have worn a blue Chalcedony around his neck as an aid in to benefit with his speeches.  In more modern times, Native Americans used the stone in ceremonies to provide a feeling of grounding.
