What a stash !!! Love it matching with the Van cleef and Arpels bracelet .
Do u take them if cooking or bathing
Or wear them 24/7 ?
I really like the different translucency . It’s a different gem stone from jade , but the iciness is very pretty to look at .
Mine is a chubby princess. My hk jade seller is selling personalize cut ones and mine was cut to my size 50 mm . Jade is very $$$ now and due to Myanmar situation she is having trouble getting stocks from Myanmar due to their bad situation. So she is dabbling in selling chalcedony as it’s popular with Chinese too .
She has gone back to China and her village due to the covid lock down for now though . Since it’s Chinese New Year soon . And sells only to her domestic audience usually .
But they plenty of other sellers selling on taobao . Though u might have to be careful because some sells those imbued with color and it might be cheap but not good to wear those .
if buying do use a translator to ask ”是不是纯天然玛瑙/玉髓， 无优化”
（ is this natural agate / chalcedony without any dyes ). See what they say
prices can range from a low 40/50 usd for garden variety to 100- 500 usd or before depending on quality / rarer variety like Turkish blue chalcedony or Brazilian chalcedony . Quality like inner stone formation clouds , or impurities also factor into their pricing.

You have the prettiest bangles Bernie! The lavender is sublime, very glowy! Is it a chubby princess or a D shape?
I like chalcedony, too. I have 2 lightly tan/gray ones, from suzanne_corner, and one carved white one I think I got from etsy. I'm pretty sure that one is treated in some way as I see them all over aliexpress. All were very inexpensive. I would love to find a chubby one in a light blue or a lace agate pattern. Any sellers you can suggest?
