is a variety of Quartz that is formed, not of one single crystal, but of finely
grained micro crystals is known as microcrystalline. The variety of Chalcedony
Quartz available is even greater than that of macrocrystalline Quartz because it
includes cryptocrystalline with patterns as well as a wide range of solid colors. Agate,
Jasper, Onyx and Carnelian are all members of the microcrystalline and/or
Chalcedony family. Chalcedony has a waxy luster, and may be semitransparent or
translucent. It measures a hardness of 7 on the Moh's scale. The term "Chalcedony" is
derived from the name of the ancient Greek town Chalkedon in Asia Minor, in modern
English usually spelled Chalcedon, today the Kadikoy district of Istanbul.
