Chalcedony is a microcrystalline variety of Quartz, prized for its smooth, waxy luster and soft, translucent glow. It forms in a wide range of colours — from serene blues and soft whites to warm pinks and earthy tones — often in delicate, swirling patterns. This versatile stone is valued not only for its beauty but also for its calming, balancing energy. Under UV light, some varieties of Chalcedony can display fascinating fluorescence, glowing in shades of pale green, blue, or even yellow, depending on their mineral inclusions. This subtle UV reaction adds an extra layer of intrigue, making Chalcedony a favourite among both crystal collectors and gem enthusiasts.
Breccia is a striking, naturally occurring rock made up of angular fragments of minerals or stones bound together by a fine-grained matrix. Its broken yet beautifully reformed structure tells a story of geological transformation, often formed through volcanic activity, tectonic movement, or sedimentary processes. The contrasting colours and sharp-edged patterns create a visually dramatic appearance, making each piece one-of-a-kind. Depending on its composition, Breccia can contain Quartz, Jasper, or other minerals, giving it unique energy and properties. Some varieties may also exhibit subtle fluorescence under UV light, revealing hidden details within the matrix — a fascinating bonus for collectors and crystal lovers alike.
