Bright blue translucent chalcedony with banding - this 6mm spherical 40cm chalcedony specimen will delight jewelry designers and stone healers alike.
Blue Chalcedony is also known as the "speaker's stone" due to its effect of strengthening communication. With this chalcedony strand can be made a noble necklace, which is then a good accompaniment, for example, in difficult conversations and negotiations.
The terms "Calchedon" and "Carchedon" are first mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his Latin Naturalis Historia in the 1st century AD. Which stones have been described here, however, cannot be clearly identified on the basis of the descriptions. Over "intermediate stages" like Calcedon, Calzedon, Chalzedon or Kalcedon the name changed to the today common Chalcedon.
