Botryoidal clusters (bubbly-looking shapes), that radiate outward from the center, are also called "Imagination Stones" because of their tendency to make us think of human or animal shapes. They remind us of a womb, as they are often hollow, which leads into what they have been associated with for many many years - the comforting energy of the archetypal good mother. This mother holds you, nurtures and supports you through anything you are experiencing. She alleviates stress and anxiety with ease. Even if we haven't had a good relationship with our mothers, Chalcedony, as funny as it may sound, can remind us that we can be nurtured by our own higher selves, the Source of true, divine love. We can treat this crystal as a child in our care, carrying it to represent the inner child / mother within us all. For only when we give love are we able to receive it. Chalcedony says, "I am here to lift you up, hold your hand, listen to what you have to say, and to remind you that forgiveness is always the thing that will set you free.” :)
