KACHOLONG

Semiprecious stones, Gems Characteristics of the mineral.

Cajolong is a milky-white stone, which is an opaque variety of porcelain-like opal, sometimes called pearl opal or semi-oval because of the low content of bound water. This is a transitional form of opal. Cajolong is opaque, porcelain-like or enameled, honey white, formed with loss of water, due to which it is sometimes referred to as chalcedony. Cajolong of organic origin, rich in calcium, can go to chalk (this type is particularly active and eats up moisture). An interesting variety of opal, sometimes somewhat porous and sticking to the tongue (slightly biting at the tongue).

Cacholong is an inexpensive opal that can be used for jewelry inserts, hand-made articles or be unfit for processing. There are completely opaque or slightly translucent minerals. Having lost almost all of the associated water cacholongs of some types actively absorb moisture, but they are afraid of water, and after getting wet and drying they can even crack (photo right lower right). Cacholongs of another type, on the contrary, are not afraid of water and wetting (photo below on the left). There is a version that its name is formed from the Kalmuck words kahe (river) and halong (stone). Therefore, the cacholong is otherwise called Kalmyk agate. According to another version, the name of the stone comes from the Turkic word kanlon (a beautiful stone).

In Mongolia, the cacholong is identified with a lotus - a sacred flower in Buddhism, a symbol of spiritual purity and purity. In India, this stone is venerated for its whiteness and is called the petrified milk of a sacred cow. In addition to the above countries, cajolong deposits exist on the territory of Russia, in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, in Iceland and Armenia. Jewelers usually prefer to send cacholong to silver.
