The natural energy coming from Blue Chalcedony has been described as being almost dream-like: gentle, smooth as silk, and flowing like a breeze upon the skin.
It is the perfect stone to keep in an office where tensions might tend to run a little hot during certain times (like deadlines). It not only helps communications to flow smoothly

 I have seen several stones added to a fish aquarium in a childs room, add on top of the soil in a plant and glued to the wall in a border around the room. Doing any of the above almost guarantees

Said to be one of the two minerals on the planet which does not hold and accumulate negative energy but dissipates and transmutes it. Hence it never needs clearing or cleansing.
 However most of the bright golden/orange citrine seen on the market is actually amethyst that has been subjected to intense heat by man. Natural citrine is less pretty and less common.
One has to ask if the qualities attributed to it still apply if it is not a natural citrine. Very likely, as the natural citrine is amethyst that turns golden under intense heat, albeit a natural process.
