Fakebusters: Pink Chalcedony

 

Well we did not last long without another Fakebusters, because we found a DOOZY of a specimen. Prepare yourselves for the optical assault of a lifetime.

Oh yes, this eye watering “crystal" is supposed to be te subtle, the calming, the docile, pink chalcedony. Instead we have a crime against crystals, with a disgusting tone of day glo pink, reminescent of a chewed piece of bubblegum. At a rave. In the 80’s.

I am 99% sure this is not even chalcedony. Its dyed glass or resin.

This is natural, soothing pink chalcedony. It has a natural hue for an agate derivative and an inner glow thanks to its optical effects. It is very similar to blue chalcedony, with subtle tones and calming energy.
