Chalcedony

Chalcedony is a highly popular and widely used mineral belonging to the quartz family. It is valued for its beauty as well as its spiritual and healing properties. Chalcedony is a cryptocrystalline (microcrystalline) form of silica (SiO2) and primarily forms in the cavities of volcanic rocks and geodes. Chalcedony is created at low temperatures in hydrothermal veins or sediments at the bottom of oceans and other water bodies. Significant deposits of chalcedony are found in Turkey, Brazil, India, Madagascar, the USA, and Central Europe.

Kámen, který pomůže překonat komunikační bariéru

Chalcedon disponuje jemnou energií, která zklidní mysl i emoce a pomůže svému majiteli zvládnout stres. Proto se mu často přezdívá „kámen řečníků“. Navodí psychickou pohodu a utlumí obavy z důležitého vystoupení před větším publikem.

  • Dodá schopnost jasně a klidně komunikovat i ve vypjatých situacích.
  • Právě z tohoto důvodu byl rovněž doporučován lidem, kteří bojovali s koktavostí nebo jinou nepříjemnou vadou řeči.

Chalcedon v mnoha podobách i možnostech využití

V Tibetu je dodnes používán v lidovém léčitelství jako prostředek pro léčbu různých chorob. Podporuje činnost lymfatického systému a zmírní otoky. Pozitivní vliv má i na žlučník, žaludek a celý zažívací systém.

  • Chalcedon si můžete pořídit v mnoha různých variantách.
  • Neopracovaný přírodní kámen.
  • Tromlovaný kámen.
  • Součást šperku – náušnice, přívěsek, náramek.

Jestliže chcete zachovat jeho pozitivní účinky na vaši psychiku i tělesnou schránku, pak bude zapotřebí čas od času ho nabít a očistit. K očistě stačí proud vlažné vody a s nabíjením pomůže sluneční energie. Na přímém slunci je dobré ho ponechat delší dobu.
