Cunningham records it as a Moon and Water stone carried against fear and nightmares; Hall assigns it to the throat as the stone of gentle speech. What makes these pebbles rather than tumbled stones? Size. Pebbles are tumbled larger than standard stones, comfortable in the palm and substantial enough to anchor a grid's center. Is the blue natural? Chalcedony's soft blue-gray is natural, and it runs misty rather than vivid. A saturated electric blue would be the sign of dye, and you will not find it in this lot.

How do I care for them? Chalcedony is sturdy; rinse and dry if needed, cleanse by moonlight or smoke, and keep prolonged direct sun to a minimum to preserve the soft color.
