About Chalcedony
Chalcedony is a nurturing stone that promotes brotherhood and good will. A cryptocrystalline form of quartz, chalcedony encompasses a large family of stones including agate, carnelian, jasper, and onyx, but the term typically refers to the blue-white to blue-gray variety when used in crystal healing. Named after the ancient port of Chalcedon, it was used by Native Americans as a ceremonial stone for promoting stability during times of change. In the Vedic tradition, chalcedony resonates with the Moon (Chandra) and Mercury (Budha), combining gentle emotional nurturing with clear, measured communication. It is one of the most accessible and universally beneficial stones available.
