Intaglio |
: |
Intaglio is the most traditional form of dry seal. The design on the seal matrix is in intaglio (cut below the flat surface) and therefore the design on the impressions made is in relief (raised above the surface). The design on the impression will reverse (be a mirror-image of) that of the matrix, which is especially important when script is included in the design, as it very often is.

About Chalcedony
|
: |
Chalcedony is a gemstone species which belongs to the quartz group of minerals.
Technically, chalcedony is the gemological term applicable for all varieties of quartz in cryptocrystalline form, which can occur in a wide range of different colors, sizes and patterns.
However today, the term, 'chalcedony', is most often used in reference to a very specific type of cryptocrystalline quartz, often referred to as 'actual chalcedony'.
To minimize confusion, other varieties of cryptocrystalline quartz are traded under their own individual trade names, such as 'banded agate', 'carnelian' or 'jasper'.
The gemstone 'chalcedony' is distinguished by translucency and its solid.
As the defining mineral for 7 on the Mohs scale, chalcedony quartz is known to set the standard when it comes to gemstone hardness for jewelry gemstones.
The actual name 'chalcedony' originated from the latin word 'Chalcedonius', which is thought to be derived from 'Chalcedon', an ancient seaport of Asia Minor, now Kadikoy, Turkey.
Chalcedony is known to take an excellent polish, in fact, after a prolonged polish, some chalcedony varieties can exhibit a glow that seems to emanate from within.
Chalcedony quartz is without a doubt one of the most significant materials of all time.
An extremely rare variety of Yellow Chalcedony is found in Garut West Java of Indonesia.
Yellow Chalcedony is a "Stone of Optimism." Chalcedony protects against negative influences, increases energy and promotes emotional balance. It absorbs negativity and dissipates it, allowing you to feel the warmth of inner-stability and self-assurance.
Chalcedony Gemstone Mythology, Metaphysical and Healing Powers
Chalcedony has been one of the most treasured gemstones throughout many ancient civilizations.
It is believed that as early as the Bronze Age, chalcedony was prized as a gem throughout areas surrounding the Mediterranean, owing to the discoveries of archaeologists.
Many chalcedony seals and other forms of jewelry and fabricated tools have been discovered dating back as early as 1800 BC.
Chalcedony has been used and prized by ancient Romans, Greeks, Babylonians and Assyrians alike.
Many Native American tribes consider chalcedony to be sacred and most often use it in traditional ceremonial gatherings, particularly in efforts to stabilize and strengthen the bonds between tribes.
Chalcedony is believed to help emotional balance and it is thought to be able to strengthen stamina and endurance. It encourages kindness, responsiveness, receptivity, generosity, charity and friendliness in those who wear it.
It is also thought to possess the unique ability to balance all of the energies of the body, mind and spirit.
