A market-wide average across qualities and sizes. Your stone's value depends on carat, color, clarity, cut, treatment, and origin.
Chalcedony is a cryptocrystalline form of silica, known for its smooth texture and a wide range of colors, including blue, gray, white, and even orange. Its hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale makes it durable, and it is often cut into cabochons or beads, enhancing its visual appeal.
