Moroccan red chalcedony is primarily found in Morocco, a country renowned for its diverse and high-quality mineral specimens. It forms in volcanic and hydrothermal environments where silica-rich solutions precipitate chalcedony over time.
Chalcedony has a Trigonal crystal system with a hardness of 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale. It possess a waxy to vitreous luster and it translucent to opaque.
