Where does Chalcedony come from?

Let’s take you back to 4000 BC when the Chalcedony stone was discovered in a corner of Turkey. Numerous deposits were identified in the city of Kalkêdôn (Chacédoine), near the ancient port. The name of this quartz was therefore easily found.

Nowadays, chalcedony is still mined in many deposits throughout the world, but the main ones are in Asia and are used for the manufacture of jewelry.
