I love the calming effect of blue chalcedony. This necklace is fashioned of a tongue-shaped, highly polished blue chalcedony and small grey seed pearls with four matching jasper olive beads. Near the center, the larger stones are separated by sterling daisy spacers and a sterling balloon clasp secures the necklace. Treat someone special to this one-of-a-kind gift or buy it for yourself. The necklace is 19" inches long. Note: Technically, chalcedony (kal SED' uh nee) is any form of microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline quartz, (meaning any form of quartz whose crystals are too small to be seen without high magnification.) ... In common practice, only the translucent, single color types are sold as "chalcedony" whereas the rest of this group are sold under individual variety names, or as jasper or agate. While the definitions overlap, jasper usually refers to an opaque, solid colored stone. Agate is defined either by its translucency, or by having a pattern to its colors. Blue chalcedony comes primarily from Namibia and Turkey. Enjoy this unique piece of hand-crafted jewelry.
