It’s loved by public speakers, orators, lawyers, and politicians for its ability to bring diplomacy to the tip of your tongue. Chalcedony is also a stone of balance and can bring the body, mind, and spirit into complete harmony.

❤️ All our stones are stored at our small ranch in California and are allowed to soak up the peaceful and loving environment. They are not stuffed away in boxes or crates, but outside on display until they change homes.
There are many animals here, many previously neglected and abused that are drawn to the stones; no doubt the energy makes them curious, as animals, being pure souls, can pick up gentle well-meaning vibrations better than we can. In the process I am sure they lovingly leave some of their innocent essence behind for the stones to soak up.

❤️ Every stone carries the Universe inside, just look real close.
