Smith's Bible Dictionary

Chalcedony

only in (Revelation 21:19) The name is applied in modern mineralogy to one of the varieties of agate. It is generally translucent and exhibits a great variety of colors. So named because it was found near the ancient Chalcedon, near Constantinople.

ATS Bible Dictionary

Chalcedony

A precious stone, resembling the agate; of various colors, but often a light brown or blue, Revelation 21:19. It is found in most parts of the world, though named after Chalcedon in Bithynia opposite Constantinople; and is much used as a material for cups, vases, and other articles of taste. Carnelian is said to be one of its varieties.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Mentioned only in Revelation 21:19, as one of the precious stones in the foundation of the New Jerusalem. The name of this stone is derived from Chalcedon, where it is said to have been first discovered. In modern mineralogy this is the name of an agate-like quartz of a bluish colour. Pliny so names the Indian ruby. The mineral intended in Revelation is probably the Hebrew nophekh, translated "emerald" (Exodus 28:18; 39:11; Ezek. 27:16; 28:13). It is rendered "anthrax" in the LXX., and "carbunculus" in the Vulgate. (see CARBUNCLE.)

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

(n.) A cryptocrystalline, translucent variety of quartz, having usually a whitish color, and a luster nearly like wax.
