The vibrant color of this dyed chalcedony oval cabochon is perfect for bold jewelry designs that celebrate color—either in single burst of neon blue or in with other brightly colored stones.

A compact microcrystalline quartz, chalcedony (pronounced "cal-SID-nee") is a tough, durable stone that is ideal for carving, cabochons, and beads. Pure chalcedony is white; individual chalcedonies are labeled by the colors that come from trace minerals. Most varieties of chalcedony are dyed to enhance their color.
