Chalcedony

Most often the "Chalcedony" gemstone refers to a translucent stone with pale colors in soft blue to violet tones. However, Chalcedeony belongs to the Quartz family, which encompasses Amethyst, Citrine, Jasper, Agate, Carnelian, Onyx, and a special favorite of mine, Chrysoprase. For the sake of categorizing the many beautiful gemstones here, Chalcedony will refer to the more popular lavender and periwinkle shades of crystals. For other variations of Chalcedony, scroll the Stone Category for your desired specific gemstone.
