Chalcedony Necklaces
Chalcedony necklace – a gentle blue piece of speakers, communication and the throat chakra
A chalcedony necklace is a classic esoteric piece of jewelry with a characteristic soft sky-blue shade and a silky, waxy luster. Chalcedony is a microcrystalline variety of quartz (SiO2) and in esoteric tradition has been called, since antiquity, "the stone of speakers, communication and gentle emotions". It resonates above all with the 5th, throat chakra (Vishuddha) – the center of speech, authenticity and expressing one's own truth. Thanks to its durability (hardness 6.5–7 Mohs), light stability and gentle, mild energy, a chalcedony necklace is one of the ideal pieces for speakers, teachers, therapists and everyone who works with words.
