About Carnelian
Carnelian, with its warm, fiery hues ranging from deep orange to red, is a captivating gemstone that has been revered for centuries. Known as a stone of motivation, courage, and creativity, carnelian has been used in jewelry, talismans, and carvings since ancient times. Its vibrant color and rich history make it a popular gemstone not only for its beauty but also for its metaphysical properties.
Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony, a mineral in the quartz family, closely related to agate and onyx. Its distinctive orange to reddish-brown color comes from iron oxide impurities within the crystal structure. Carnelian is a semi-translucent stone, with a glassy, smooth surface when polished. It often exhibits streaks or banding of lighter and darker shades of orange or brown, giving each stone a unique and dynamic appearance.
This gemstone is found in various locations around the world, including India, Brazil, Madagascar, and the United States. Its hardness, which is similar to that of quartz, makes it suitable for carving and use in jewelry, while its rich color has made it a prized stone throughout history.
Carnelian has been cherished throughout human history, dating back to ancient civilizations. Its name is derived from the Latin word carneus, meaning "flesh," due to its deep, warm hues that resemble the color of living tissue. Ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks all valued carnelian for both its aesthetic appeal and its symbolic meanings.
