Chalcedony was used by ancient seafarers as an amulet to prevent drowning. 
 
Chalcedony was also used as a talisman by the Assyrians and Babylonians as far back as 4000 B.C. in the form of a seal, or signet, carved into a cylindrical pendant and engraved with religious or mythological subjects. Worn suspended from the neck or wrist, it not only protected its wearer, but its imprint on a document legitimized a contract. 
 
Blue Chalcedony is a Seeker Transformer talisman. Seeker crystals contain the energy structure that aligns the natural energy of the crystal to the natural power of the human mind to find the way to new horizons and new capabilities. They’re pointers, directors, and compasses; the fresh start crystals.
 
These are the talismans of the scientist, the adventurer, the hunter, wanderer, and explorer. They’re also crystals of the student and the researcher.
 
Transformer crystals enhance efforts to change our situations, prospects, health, outlook, or relationships. By transforming ourselves we transform our lives.

Chalcedony in Ancient Lore and Legend
 
Chalcedony is reputed to be the Speaker’s Stone, the stone of one who must measure his words. The great Roman orator, Cicero, is said to have worn one around his neck.
 
In ancient times, chalices were carved of Chalcedony and lined with silver to prevent poisoning. 
 
Chalcedony was attributed with the power to drive away phantoms and visions of the night.
 
A man with his right hand raised aloft, if engraved on a Chalcedony, brings success in lawsuits, renders the wearer healthy, gives him safety in his travels and preserves him from all evil chances. 
 
Chalcedony is listed in the Book of Revelation as the stones garnishing the third foundation of the walls for the New Jerusalem; its significance, according to the Archbishop of Mainz in the first century, is the flame of inner charity. 
 
Our crystals are all cleansed with sage before shipping. This is the method we recommend for cleansing because it is safe for all types of crystals. Sound cleansing is also a great and safe method for all stones. My cats don't like the noises and they're the boss so that is why we use strictly sage.

You can cleanse hard stones like quartz with water but that can ruin softer stones so always do your research before choosing how to cleanse if you are using water.

We don't recommend sunlight because it can bleach the color out of a lot of crystals over time.
