Purple chalcedony, also known as purple jade, is a type of chalcedony gemstone that presents a rich and even purple color, evoking feelings of nobility, grace, and mystery. The texture is delicate, with a moderate hardness, and it appears in a translucent or opaque state. This level of transparency gives purple chalcedony a sense of depth when carved, allowing it to display intricate textures and patterns.
The internal structure is compact with fewer impurities, resulting in a higher degree of purity. Visually, it appears clearer and more transparent, giving a sense of purity and elegance, much like the first bloom of violets in the morning dew.
