Q: What is Magma Chalcedony made of?

Magma Chalcedony has the chemical formula SiO₂, crystallises in the trigonal (microcrystalline) system and measures 6.5 – 7 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Magma chalcedony is a trade name for red-orange banded chalcedony — a cryptocrystalline variety of quartz — often occurring in a black basaltic or ironstone host from volcanic terrains. The vivid color derives from finely dispersed iron oxides infilling silica-rich veins in the parent lava.
