Chalcedony, light blue

Chalcedony is a delicate, polished stone known for its soft, translucent tones and subtle luster. As a variant of microcrystalline quartz, it is formed by small, tightly packed quartz structures that create its smooth, silky surface and distinctive appearance. This beautiful stone is often found in cavities in volcanic rocks, and chalcedony can be discovered in various parts of the world, including the United States, Turkey and Namibia. The color varies from sky blue to hazy grey-blue, and the shades are created by trace elements such as aluminum and copper during formation.

Chalcedony was widely used in antiquity, especially by the Romans and Greeks, who created elaborate jewelry and seals that covered the stone's surface. They valued not only its beauty, but also its durability.
