The name originates from an ancient city Khalkedon (Chalcedon) on the coast of the Marble sea. Chalcedonys is semilucent usually, examine with x-rays sometimes. Without the admixtures of Chalcedony greyish. Hardness Mohs 7, closeness 2,6. Does not form the crystals of Chalcedony. Characteristic forms of selection: veins, crusts, bud-forms, cluster-forms forms, excretions of amygdales in volcanic rocks. Very interesting forms - chalcedonic pseudostalactites appear on occasion.
It can find out the crystalline structure of chalcedony only under an electronic microscope or expose through a X-ray radiography Roentgen diffraction analysis analysis. Chalcedony forms crusts, buds, spherulites, tumours. Electronic-microscopic researches allow to expose his microvillous structure. Along fibres, ductings are located, and athwart to them are layers, from rough to the thinnest (to a few thousands are on 1 sm). Often these fibres are swiped in numerous spherulites. Chalcedony possesses large porosity, size of pores of approximately 0,1 mcm. It is possible to paint over due to the presence of these pores of Chalcedony. Chalcedony well accepts a polish, slightly transparent, that gives him inexpressible beauty.
Chalcedony and especially his coloured varieties are extraordinarily widely used as jeweller-carpentry stone. The most characteristic admixtures are connections of ferrous iron and aluminium.

Among chalcedonies there are varieties with including of scales and dendrites, more frequent than all of chlorite, oxides of manganese or ferrous iron. Dendritovye inclusion, spherulites and scales of minerals of green color form mossy Agate, or mossiness mushroom; the patterns of chlorite in him at times have whimsical outlines and remind forest landscape, thick jungles, branches or mysterious reservoirs. Manganese dendrites of black, crutching on the cracks of chalcedony, more frequent than all are look like the branches of trees or bushes, and also educations, similar to the thin frosty patterns on glass. These stone used great success in India and other orients. At cutting try it is most beautiful to select the areas of stone with dendrites.
