Shipping and applicable taxes are calculated at checkout.
A bowl cut from a single block of blue chalcedony, 3.4 inches.
Chalcedony is quartz grown too finely to show any grain, so it takes a waxy lustre rather than a glassy one and light travels a few millimetres into the surface before it stops. The pale blue reads deeper wherever the stone is thickest and washes out over thin edges, which is why the form changes as you turn it against a window.
Hollowing stone is slower and riskier than shaping it — the wall has to stay even, and any flaw the block was hiding will find the thinnest point.
