Astrological Benefits of Chalcedony

The name “chalcedony” is derived from the Latin words ‘chalcedonius’ and ’calchedonius’. One of the well-known German mineralogists, Georgius Agricola wrote in 1546 that there has to be some possible collection between this gemstone and Chalcedon, an ancient seaport in present-day Kadıköy, Turkey. Also, in 75 AD, a Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder used “chalcedony” for describing translucent jasper in his work, Naturalis Historia. According to Vedic astrology, chalcedony jewelry treats the problems related to the circulatory and digestive systems, thus relieving the vata dosha. Chalcedony crystals are nothing but microcrystalline quartz. You must be thinking of what it means. Well, a specimen of a quartz crystal can either be macrocrystalline, meaning, having large, visible crystal, or it can be microcrystalline, where it has tiny, microscopic crystals densely compacted together.
