Chalcedony

Polished Chalcedony from Madagascar, approximate size 39 x 43 x 28mm. Chalcedony is a nurturing stone that promotes brotherhood and good will and enhances group stability. It brings the mind, body, emotions and spirit into harmony. Instilling feelings of benevolence and generosity, Chalcedony removes hostility and transforms melancholy into joy.

In ancient times, chalices would be formed out of Chalcedony and lined with silver. They were said to prevent poisoning. (Info. abridged from The Crystal Bible Vol 1 by Judy Hall)
