Cradle of Humankind is a rare and fantastic addition to any crystal collection! It is a Gray Chalcedony that is mined as part of archaeological digs at the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site in South Africa.

Very beautiful stone, a soft cold dark gray with lighter shades like light whiffs of clouds and lighter veins in light grey and even reddish. It seems to hold many secrets and be soothing at the same time. Can’t wait to work with it :)

These are top quality crystals. These stones have such a beautiful vibration. The first thing that came to my mind was “Peace on Earth.” I wanted these stones for a pendant I will be making but I will be purchasing more for a grid. They are powerful!
