Chalcedony (pronounced with a k sound at the beginning) has been used as jewelry, amulets and as seals for thousands of years. In the gemstone trade, chalcedony is a light blue quartz much loved by jewelers for their availability, toughness and ethereal beauty.
Chalcedony is a pale colored gemstone with light blue, gray, lavender, violet or white being the most common hues.

Chalcedony is a type of quartz which shares many similarities with other famous gemstones such as Agate, Bloodstone, Carnelian and Jasper. To make things simple, these varieties of microcrystalline quartz are separated by color, patterns or banding. Chalcedony is generally accepted to be the light blue to lavender colored version.
Chalcedony is a very affordable gemstone with most pieces available for just a few dollars per carat. Deeper blue colors or a particularly translucent item could reach as much as $15 per carat as can chalcedony gemstones that have been intricately carved.
As Chalcedony can quite easily be found in large carat sizes, the price does not rise dramatically as the stones get bigger.

Chalcedony is generally not treated in any way other than the usual cutting and polishing.
Chalcedony can be dyed so look out for any outlandish colors such as vivid blue or bright purple.
Chalcedony can be found in Brazil, Namibia, India, Madagascar, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.
Chalcedony is rated at 6.5 to 7 Mohs hardness scale which makes them tough enough for all jewelry items including daily wear pieces. Chalcedony has no 'cleavage' so it is not likely to break easily if used as a ring or in a bracelet.
Not only is Chalcedony very affordable, but it can be found in all sizes from tiny lots and matching pairs to large single stones so it is very versatile.

I had problems with PayPal. My customer service rep, Thomas, did a great job in shepherding me through the process. I ended up purchasing three stones, due to Thomas good customer service. Thomas deserves a raise and a week's vacation.

I have found what I think is the best kept secret for buying stones, and I have to tell you about this gem stone site I found! There is a large selection of stones and crystals, and the best prices I have found for nuummite! They make it incredibly easy to find exactly what you are looking for by shape, size, cost, and clarity. I have already purchased two stones and I will be checking the site frequently from now on for everything and anything that I am hoping to find. They have individual pictures of every stone with different views so you absolutely know what you are buying.Honestly, I was hesitant to purchase something the first time BECAUSE the prices were so competitive and below anything I found elsewhere and because the stone was both being purchased online and from another country. I received the stone ahead of shipping schedule and when I received the package, it was in not one but two separate zip lock bags. One had the certificate of authenticity and details about the stone. The second had information about the stone itself. I was so impressed with the quality of the stone and that it was definitely the stone I picked out on their site, that I ordered another stone without hesitation. I will be using this site to purchase gifts for everyone I can think of! lol
