Chalcedony is a form of Agate that has a unique crystalline structure. It is recommended to use Chalcedony Agate for those who want serious peace of mind and a “cool down” effect from anger, inflammation, agitation, or other disturbances. Because it releases energy at the throat chakra, Chalcedony Agate is often used for the throat, neck, and shoulder areas. If there is any area in your life that needs “gentle-ing,” this crystal can do the job.
A rough version of crystal is usually cut from a much larger piece of mined material that is too large or heavy to be used by a person. Rough chunks such as calcites are often acid washed to subtly smooth out rough edges that may cause cuts or injury and to prevent further flaking or breakage.
