Astrological Benefits Of Chalcedony

Chalcedony is a family of gemstones that encompasses dozens of colored microcrystalline quartz gemstones. If you have heard of agate, onyx, carnelian, bloodstone, chrysoprase, or Aventurine, and you are guessing which family of gemstones they belong to, then you would be astonished to know that all these gemstones belong to the chalcedony family. All the varieties of chalcedony are considered to be semi-precious gemstones. The pronunciation of chalcedony is a bit typical – it is not the “ch”, like in “chat”, rather, it is pronounced as kal-SEH-duh-nee.
