Chalcedony or
calcedony, is a fine-grained variety of the silica mineral quartz.
It has a waxy luster and appears in a great variety of colors - usually
blue-white, buff, light tan, gray, yellow or brown. Chalcedony is named after
the ancient seaport of Chalcedon (Kadikoy, Turkey). Archaeologists have dug up
Babylonian and Assyrian chalcedony cylinder-seals dating from 500 BC. Common
forms of chalcedony include agate, bloodstone, jasper,
and onyx.
Blue Iris Designer Bracelet is created with medium
blue chalcedony gemstones of finest quality, and drenched in 925 Sterling Silver
saucer shaped beads and 925 Sterling Silver floral designed bead caps. The Blue
Iris double strand, boasts a shiny 925 Sterling Silver oval link chain with

focal is an artist lampwork bead center, with Sterling Silver handcrafted beads
from the Karen Hill Tribes on either side. A shiny Sterling Silver heart shaped
