Named for: Chalcedony is named for Chalcedon, an ancient port near what is now modern-day Istanbul, Turkey. Chrysoprase, a.k.a. chrysoprasus, which is a gemstone variety of chalcedony, is derived from the Greek words chrȳsós, meaning “gold” and prasinon, meaning “leek” for its similar color to that vegetable.

In my life reading you gave me in February I was instructed to wear a blue-green chalcedony stone for greater vibration. Well, there doesn’t seem to be such a stone! The Zodiac Jewelry Company in New York advises me that chalcedony means blue and is a blue stone. So what do I do now? Blue-green seems to me to be the correct astrological color for me to wear as I am a Libran and dark blue is the color for Libra with green as the secondary color. The chalcedonies that I saw in Washington were a light blue.

. . . The Reading must have meant something definite when it said blue-green chalcedony. At the next reading, we will ask just what this is and where it may be obtained and under what name . . .

. . . the chalcedony, that it may be the color as stones or things of the nature should be about the entity in its closer activity.

More on Chalcedony
Chalcedony is a very powerful stone composed of quartz and moganite, which is mentioned in both the Bible and the Cayce readings. For that reason, I include the references to the quartz family here in this section.
The different varieties of chalcedony contain the same silicon dioxide form found in regular quartz crystals. For millennia, the ancient ones have used various forms of chalcedony for everything from sacred objects to talismans and good luck charms.
Because the Bible mentions chalcedony and chrysoprasus as well as other varieties, we will never know with complete certainty exactly which stones were used in biblical times.
The more and various references to the varieties of chalcedony that I see in different versions of the Bible make me know with great certainty that these stones are important and should be used and worked with for many reasons.
First, whatever variety of chalcedony you choose will be for a good reason. Whether you have a reading that prescribes a stone for you or not, you will often find yourself drawn to particular gems on a subconscious, soul level. If you are drawn to any form of chalcedony, I would imagine that would happen as a result of a past-life influence.
Ancient Rome, Italy, Medieval Europe, and Asia Minor are all past time periods that you can tap into using any of these stones.
The only other reason to be drawn to a chalcedony stone would be for physical reasons. We’ve discussed the calming properties of agate and the healing ability of bloodstone. Blue chalcedonies help with the thyroid and sleeping difficulties or the fear of public speaking. The pale blue chrysoprasus will help to heal the heart, more on the emotional than on the physical level. If you are suffering from a broken heart over a relationship, this is the stone for you!

Source again reminds us how to use stones, against the body:
The very red stones; as of coral, that is rather of the deep sea variety, and when this is worn about the neck or about the waist—or upon the arm—let it rest upon the flesh, for it will bring quiet to the body . . . coral . . . will bring quietness in those turmoils that have arisen within the inner self . . .
Q: Should the coral, as suggested, be any particular shape or carving?
A: No particular shape, just so it is mounted so that the coral itself may be upon the flesh of the body.

Ever wear about the entity rose coral. The vibrations of same, from same, may aid in the mental as well as vibratory urge to make those influences less of a disturbing nature which might otherwise be disturbing.

Q: Please give my seal and its interpretation.
A: Coral as would present itself in any form, whether as a seal or as that preferably to be worn, rather than a life seal. Wear coral; rose color—not red, not white, but rose coral. This is the seal. And, as indicated, as this is made up of nature’s activity attempting to manifest, so—as ye have experienced and will experience—it is the little things in the association one with another that build those that prove to be the real experiences of life. A word, a look, a sign, may make, may undo, all of the thoughts of many.
