Description from Julie Shane: The description of chalcedony describes it as one of the hardest materials used by mankind and then goes on to pair these lovely shades with pearls... which are so delicate.
I thought it was a really cool combo. Hard and soft. Polished and druzy. Keishi and faceted. Whites and greys and blues.
