Blue Chalcedony NEW Gorgeous Blue Chalcedony cabochon pendant in 925 sterling silver set with faceted Amethyst (top) and Iolite (middle) accent stones. The Chalcedony cabochon in this pendant has lovely colour saturation. Chalcedony is a fibrous, cryptocrystalline (microscopic crystal) variety of Quartz. It comes in many colours and the blue in particular has a very peaceful, calming energy. It is an excellent cleanser, absorbing negative energy and transmuting it so that becomes harmless (especially where anger is present). It is a very cleansing stone, said to promote healing of sores and is also very protective, making it an ideal crystal to either wear or have in your environment. Blue Chalcedony is the creative stone of this family. It makes us more receptive to new ideas and ways of thinking, gently eroding fixed, unhealthy mindsets. Excellent for those who are learning new things, whether for those at school or university or for those who have embarked on a new path of learning - albeit languages or new healing techniques.  Traditionally the blue variety has been regarded as a Weather Stone; used either in ceremonies where appeasing the nature spirits was important, or by a wearer who suffers from weather or season related ills, such as hay fever. It is a peaceful, lighthearted, optimistic stone, with a beautiful blue colour.
