Blue Chalcedony (Marbled) 4x12-10x15mm Chips 15-16 Inch

Blue Chalcedony is a naturally occurring soft blue translucent stone. It is a member of the Quartz family, a form of silica with a cryptocrystalline structure that incorporates Moganite along with the Quartz. Known in antiquity as the Speaker’s Stone, it is believed to have been worn Cicero, the great Roman orator. These strands were cut into beads with some of the material the Chalcedony was mined out of remaining, creating a unique "marbled" look.
