CHALCEDONY, or CALCEDONY (sometimes called by old writers cassidoine)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 804 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CHALCEDONY, or CALCEDONY (sometimes called by old writers cassidoine) , a variety of native
silica
 , often used as an ornamental
stone
 . The present application of the
term
  is comparatively
modern
 . The " chalcedonius " of Pliny was quite a different
mineral
 , being a green
stone
  from the copper-mines of
Chalcedon
 , in
Asia
 
Minor
 , whence the name. There has been some confusion between
chalcedony
  andthe ancient "carcedonia," a stone which seems to have been a carbuncle from Africa, brought by way of Carthage (KapXi6wv). Our
chalcedony
  was probably included by the ancients among the various kinds of jasper and agate, especially the varieties termed " leucachates "
