Chalcedony helps with emotional balance, stamina, vitality, endurance, energy, hardiness, intensity, nurturance, generosity, liveliness, kindness, friendliness and charity. Like many varieties of quartz, it is a multi-purpose balancing stone. Chalcedony is a good general purpose stone to carry for calmness and mental clarity. Chalcedony is a good stone to keep around a chaotic environment.
Gold’s long history of use by mankind has given rise to a great number of healing myths. No doubt, Gold’s monetary value, which wells from a human lust for gold that is almost archetypal, has amplified the powers that healers attribute to the metal. That New Age healers call gold, “the Master Healer” is of little surprise considering how the desire that gold inspires approaches worship of the metal. Healing uses for Gold based on the beliefs of the New Age include the treatment of blood, skin, neurological and heart disorders.
