Blue Chalcedony: Serenity, Communication, and the Voice of Iris
A Stone for Graceful Speech
Blue Chalcedony is soft strength in gemstone form. It doesn’t demand attention; it invites peace. With its pale blue glow and gentle translucence, this stone soothes emotional turbulence and encourages mindful communication.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult conversation, writing from the heart, or seeking to express yourself truthfully, Blue Chalcedony helps your words flow with compassion. It’s the crystal for those who speak with intention, not impulse.
The Origin of the Name
The name “Chalcedony” comes from Chalcedon, an ancient port city near modern-day Istanbul, where the stone was first discovered. Sailors and orators once wore it for calm seas and clear speech, symbols of balance between the mind and voice.
