MORE INFORMATION

Chalcedony is the generic name given to quartz when it occurs in compact masses of microcrystalline silica with a fibrous-oriented texture. The name derives from the Greek Χαλκηδών (C halkedón ), referring to Chalcedon , an ancient mining town of Bithynia (today Kadiköy, in Turkey) with a port on the Sea of ​​Marmara , in whose surroundings the material used to create ornaments was extracted. All varieties are considered semi- precious stones and used for ornamental purposes, since ancient times, especially for the creation of cameos and carvings.

There Paesina stone consists mainly of compact limestone and clay , or marly limestone, and is almost exclusively typical of Tuscany . Geologically it originated about 50 million years ago ( Eocene - Paleocene ).

The name derives from the fact that this stone hides within it drawings that look like the work of a painter, but are absolutely natural, sometimes surprisingly simulating a landscape. The main mining area is since 1500 in the surroundings of the city of Florence in Tuscany , where particular geological conditions have occurred.
The peculiarity of the stone lies in the designs created by mineralized solutions in the presence of Iron And Manganese , which seem to reproduce ruined cities, stormy seas, inlets, rocks, volcanoes, mountains.

The Paesina Stone strikes for the chromatic contrast of its components, light gray for the limestone , reddish-brown for the iron oxides , black for manganese and blue for the clay .

Jade is a mineralogically hard stone belonging to silicates . The name of jade usually indicates nephrite, a silicate of calcium and magnesium , and jadeite , a silicate of sodium and aluminum. Nephritis is found in East Turkestan and Siberia , in the area of ​​Lake Baikal ; while jadeite comes from Burma and reaches China through the provinces of Yunnan and Guangdong only in the second half of the 18th century. The wide range of colors is due to small and different quantities of different metal oxides such as iron , chromium and manganese . The colors can vary from green to milky white, from brown to dark gray, from yellow to black. Siberian nephrite is dark green with small black spots, while jadeite is purer and more vivid due to the presence of chromium .

The agate (from the ancient greek : ἀχάτης , achátes ) is a variety of chalcedony , generic name given to quartz , when this occurs in compact masses of silica microcrystalline with a fibrous-oriented texture. Agate has a typical zoned structure which is visible even to the naked eye, thanks to the diversity of color.

Agate is formed by rhythmic deposition of silica , usually within cavities amygdalari of rocks basaltic , or petrified (agatized) woods.

When the agate is presented in flat and parallel bands, of a contrasting color (light / dark), it takes the name of onyx (from the Greek ὄνυξ, ónyx , nail, for the translucent aspect). Taking advantage of the layers of contrasting color (generally two but, exceptionally, up to five), onyx is used in the glyptic to realize cameos ^[2] .

Depending on the colors of the bands, there are different denominations:

• brown base layer: sardonyx;
• red base layer: onyx-carnelian.
