Carnelians - now you can wear them even if you aren't nobility!

Carnelians are one of my favorite gemstones. I love their cheerful orange color, and the way they look when the sun shines through them. They just glow with warmth. I love them alone, or mixed with other gemstones.

The color of carnelians ranges from orange-reds, to brownish oranges and reds, yellow and clear stones with no color. These shades of red are due to the presence of iron oxide. Carnelians are translucent to opaque and moderately hard.
