Chalcedony is a member of the quartz family, similar in appearance to nephrite jade. It has no distinguishing characteristics, and may be found in a wide variety of colors, among them the gemstone varieties of jasper and agate.

Two other ornamental varieties of chalcedony are carnelian, which has a deep red-brown color, and bloodstone, which is green with red flecks. Pale chalcedonies are often dyed, and can appear unnatural.
