Did You Know

 Did you know, legend has it that making chalices from Chalcedony prevented poisoning?

Chalcedony is usually an opaque, transparent, white, grey or blue stone.

That is a new one on me. Thank you for these interesting (but sometimes doubtful) snippets. PS: I think the goose who said he knew that is a stranger to the truth.

Chalcedony also prevents COVID, so carry the largest piece in your handbag that you can lift.

Sounds like a great tip! Hugs, Valerie

I never knew that and would have a hard time to spell that. Like Andrew said, maybe Trump is carrying one around in his pocket and takes bites of it as well.
