Blue Chalcedony is a soft Aqua blue crystal, as with many other blue calming stones, it is subtle and mystic, cool and serene.
It has a magical soft translucence.

The first recorded discovery of chalcedony was reported in Istanbul Province, Turkey. It is theorized the name chalcedony comes from the name of the ancient town Chalcedony in Asia Minor. Today, deposits are found all over the world in Brazil, India, Madagascar, Malawi, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Uruguay and California. In its antiquity, chalcedony was commonly used as a wearable accessory with cameo carvings of water and air gods and goddesses. It was also used in the Middle East during the 1st and 2nd century to create seals, knives and other jewelry. Chalcedony still is commonly used in accessories such as rings and necklaces.

This gemstone is thought by many to be lucky for Cancer signs and a protective stone for Sagittarius. Many people believe in the healing and cleansing properties of the stone that include the absorption and dissipation of negative energy so that it does not transfer to other people. This is likely why chalcedony is also thought to align the body, mind and spirit.

In chakra practices, chalcedony is believed to be the stone of communication and is often placed by the pharynx to stimulate the throat chakra. The throat chakra is considered the voice of the body and allows energy or pressure from the other chakras to be released. If the throat chakra is blocked it is believed to cause problems with other chakras. Specifically, blue chalcedony is favoured for this practice.
