Blue Chalcedony Namibia

Long before our time, chalcedony was valued by our distant ancestors. Not because it is the most striking gemstone, but because they discovered a special application: engraving. Chalcedony is perfect for engraving and making amulets or figurines. In the Bronze Age at the Palace of Knossos, chalcedony was used to make official seals. Official chalcedony seals dating back to before 1800 BC have even been discovered.

Years later, rings with beautiful intaglios in chalcedony were found along the trade routes in Central Asia.
