Magma Chalcedony is the trade name for a rare crystal found on Java Island in Indonesia. It’s composed of iron oxide and chalcedony banding that contains small crocoite crystals, which create bright pink and orange hues.

Chalcedony is a mineral composed of tiny, microscopic crystals of quartz. It is a microcrystalline form of silica, meaning its crystals are too small to be visible without the use of a microscope. Chalcedony typically has a waxy or glassy luster, and comes in a wide range of colors. Chalcedony is found all over the world, and usually forms in volcanic rocks, geodes, and in sedimentary rocks.

The name Chalcedony comes from the Latin word “chalcedonius” which is derived from the Greek word “khalkedon”. Chalcedony was found at the ancient Greek city of Chalcedon, on the Bosporus straight in Asia Minor (which is now a district in Istanbul, Turkey). Chalcedony is one of the oldest known gemstones. Ancients carved Chalcedony into cylindrical seals in Mesopotamia as early as the 7th century BCE.

Magma Chalcedony has a positive and uplifting energy that elevates your body's energy and your mood. Its fiery energy ignites your inner fire, giving you the energy boost needed to accomplish your goals and dreams. Magma Chalcedony inspires creativity and inspiration, infusing your life with limitless potential.
