"I think the idea of purple and lavender chalcedony being lumped with blue chalcedony dates from the yo-yo who coined the term 'Holly Blue,'" says gem cutter--gemologist Will Johnson, owner of Premier Gem Design in Ellensburg, Wash. Ellensburg is known for its blue--not lavender--chalcedony. Holly Blue, found in Holly, Ore., is lavender--not blue--according to Johnson. "This guy should be drawn and quartered for the confusion he's caused. I've cut hundreds of pounds of Holly. None of it was remotely blue."
