More on Chalcedony
Many fragments of Chalcedony contain microscopic elements of other minerals, giving a range of colours.
Its name derives from the ancient port of Turkey, which was once called Khalkedon in Asian Minor, where there were deposits.
This clever specimen forms in cavities cracks, and through pre-existing rocks, in particular volcanic rocks.
