Science & Origin of Blue Chalcedony

Blue Chalcedony is a rare variety of Chalcedony. It is a cryptocrystalline silicate mineral and a member of the Quartz family. It occurs in large mass formations perfect for cutting, crafting, and tumbling. The Chalcedony on the market today comes from one single region in Turkey. This area is believed to have been extracting Blue Chalcedony since 2500 B.C. The word “chalcedony” is named after the ancient seaport of Chalcedon, now known as the city of Kadikoy. The blue hue of the stone occurs because of the “Tyndall effect”, defined as light scattering by colloid-sized particles. The colour can range from a light transparent blue to a solid baby or sky blue.

Meaning & Energy

Blue Chalcedony is a calmer of the emotional body and is here to help one communicate their most authentic thoughts and ideas. This encourages deeper discussions with the ones you love, which will not only strengthen your relationships but also help “awaken” their emotional bodies. As one begins to self-reflect and begins their journey with Blue Chalcedony, they must first work to clear their mind and allow their heart to speak. During deep meditation sessions, place this stone over your heart, throat, or third eye, and let its energies resonate directly with that chakra. As you slow your breathing and focus all your energy towards your heart space, remind yourself why you have set out on this self-better journey. Is it to better understand yourself and your true spirits? To voice your feelings and better communicate with the community? To calm your emotional body and help keep your mind clear? Any answer is perfect as long as you constantly remind yourself of this. Throughout this experience, Blue Chalcedony will raise submerged emotions that we’ve grown to ignore and subconsciously avoid. As difficult as it may be to face these stressful emotions, it is essential for you to finally do so in honour of what you’ve been through. Every experience you’ve gone through has built the person you are today, and Blue Chalcedony shows the positive effects it truly has on your ever-growing spirit.
