"Clear in places, kind of milky in others, with these bands of colors running through it."

Chalcedony was a type of glass-like rock that had either a milky translucence,^[1] or, in some cases, a darker color.^[2] Statues would be sculpted in chunks of chalcedony: the tessent idols of Alsakan were made of it,^[1] and so were effigies of Borz'Mat'oh and Fillorean at the University of Coruscant.^[2] On the planet of Alderaan, chalcedony was strongly associated with the House of Organa, who used it as a signet of office.^[3] At the time of the Great Galactic War, the ruling lord of the House was referred to as the "heir to the chalcedony star."^[4] Additionally, the Royal Chalcedony Shield, a medal awarded by the High Council of Alderaan to worthy off-worlders, was also made of chalcedony.^[5]
