Gemstone Care:
Chalcedony is a variety of quartz, different to other crystals such as amethyst or rose quartz because of it’s microcrystalline structure, which means it’s crystals are not big enough to be distinguished without the use of magnification. It is a fairly soft stone, meaning it should be stored and worn with care to avoid scratching the stone. It is best to Keep it in a separate pouch away from other jewellery to avoid scratching. To clean your chalcedony, wipe the stone with a soft cotton cloth to remove surface oil and dirt. A damp cloth can be used for a deeper clean before buffing with a soft cloth. Ensure the stone is dry before storing. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are not appropriate for chalcedony and are likely to damage the stone. Chalcedony should not be subjected to prolonged periods in bright sunlight as this can lead to fading.
