The transparent spheres of pink chalcedony have a total of 64 facets.
In total, the chalcedony strand has a length of about 40cm.
The pink chalcedony (also called rose chalcedony) stands in stone healing for the themes of openness and understanding as well as liveliness, kindness and helpfulness.
The terms "Calchedon" and "Carchedon" are found for the first time in Pliny the Elder in his Latin Naturalis Historia in the 1st century AD. Which stones have been described here, however, cannot be clearly identified on the basis of the descriptions. Over "intermediate stages" like Calcedon, Calzedon, Chalzedon or Kalcedon the name changed to the today common Chalcedon.
