I have been studying the meanings and powers behind Gemstones, and have been very intrigued about the mysteries behind these powers. Most of them I use in the jewelry I create. I wanted to share what I've learned with you, as you may find gemstones that might help you in your various activities.
Chalcedony, also spelled Calcedony, is a very fine-grained (cryptocrystalline) variety of the silica mineral quartz. It has a waxy luster and appears in a great variety of colors including blue, white, buff, light tan, gray, yellow, pink, red, or brown. If chalcedony is conspicuously color-banded, it may be called agate and with minerals it has various other names including carnelian, mocha stone, onyx, and bloodstone to name a few.
In the petrified forests of the Desert Southwest, many of the original tree tissues have been replaced by chalcedony in the formation of petrified wood. What remains is a mineral replica of the original tree in various fantastic colors. The brilliant reds and greens are caused primarily by traces of iron oxides
Considered a sacred stone by the Native American Indians, chalcedony nurtures and promotes brotherhood and good will.
