A Microcrystalline Quartz – mid orange to red-brown pebbles.

Carnelian is a form of Chalcedony, prized for its vibrate red/orange, translucent colouring. Dispersed inclusions of Haematite and Iron Oxide within the Quartz create the rich vibrancy of its content. Although most stones with high volumes of Quartz have a smooth, reflective finish to them, Carnelian has a dull, waxy lustre. It has been incredibly popular in jewellery throughout the ages due the unrivalled brilliance of its colour palette.

Our Carnelian range is completely natural, and has not been synthetically dyed.

This is believed to be a powerful stone, commonly used to stimulate precision and perceptiveness by awakening inherent talents and skills.
