Chalcedony (Pink) | Tumbled

Chalcedony is a silicon dioxide mineral composed of submicroscopic Quartz grains, colored and sometimes patterned by other pigmenting minerals. Chalcedony differs from Jasper in that the Quartz is arranged in fibrous layers rather than the sugar-like grains found in Jasper. Though the Quartz fibers in Chalcedony are parallel and perpendicular to the surface, macroscopically it displays radiating stalactite, grape-like or kidney shapes. Chalcedonies range widely in color, pattern, location of origin and name. The name itself derived from the Greek port city of Chalcedon.
