About Carnelian

Carnelian is a translucent orange to reddish-brown variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz, whose warm colour comes from traces of iron oxide. It has been used since ancient times for beads and carved seals. Carnelian has a hardness of about 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, which makes it tough and practical for everyday jewellery.
