Chalcedony Owl

People just love buying and receiving Chalcedony Owls. This crystal is also sold as white agate and even snow quartz – all part of the same family. This shape always symbolises to me applied wisdom and learning. Read more about the shapes here. We have other owls like tiger’s eye.

Meaning of White Chalcedony

This crystal soothes emotional wounds. And it brings about a balanced energetic state of acceptance, healing, and can lead to blissful states. It is said to hasten recovery, aid pregnancy and alleviate vertigo. Read more on Healing tab.

Great way to get crystals to those who are not sure, or, you are not sure if a “crystal” is the right thing.

These white chalcedony owls will delight crystal bird collectors and not just those who love animals.

Special Notes

The structure of chalcedony is classified as microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline, meaning that the crystalline structure of the rock is so fine that it is not readily visible to the naked eye. In order to identify the individual crystals which make up the stone, it must be sliced into thin sections and viewed under a microscope with a polarized light source. Even then, the crystals are usually quite difficult to distinguish. This makes the stone relatively durable and easy to work with, far less prone to fracturing that other forms of quartz or minerals with larger crystal structures.

• Ancient times used to create chalices to prevent poisoning.
• Small dyed "agate" geodes are also known as chalcedony geodes
• Petrified wood is usually chalcedony replacing wood.
• If the chalcedony grows as points it's a quartz. If its boulder-style then agate. If a shimmering mass, then aventurine.
• Lumps that are a single translucent colour or have a druzy layer of crystals are called in metaphysical terms: chalcedony,. Banded or swirls/patterns of colours - agate.
• Chalcedony is more soluble than quartz under low-temperature conditions
