Banded Carnelian Tumbled Stone - 20-30 mm

Banded Carnelian Tumbled Stone is a smooth, polished natural stone in warm orange to red-orange, marked with lighter and darker banding through the translucent body. Each piece is a rounded, hand-filling tumble with its own pattern and depth of colour. The stones suit a pocket, a bowl, or a grid.

Carnelian is traditionally associated with creativity, self-expression, and confidence, and it is commonly carried as a warm, motivating stone. Many people keep a tumbled piece close while working on a project or hold one during focused effort. Its bright colour makes it a lively, encouraging gift.

As a natural stone, each Banded Carnelian Tumbled Stone differs in the strength of its orange and the pattern of its banding, so no two pieces look exactly alike.

Geological Information
Carnelian is a chalcedony variety of the quartz family, a microcrystalline silicon dioxide coloured by iron oxide, with a Mohs hardness of 7 and a trigonal structure. Natural carnelian tends toward a brownish orange, and heat treatment is common and standard practice to produce the vivid red-orange associated with the stone; some banded material on the market is dyed agate, distinguishable because dye tends to concentrate along the bands while natural colour appears cloudy. It is one of the oldest continuously used gemstones, found in Tutankhamun's tomb and named among the twelve stones of the High Priest's breastplate. Sources include Brazil, India, Madagascar, Uruguay, and Germany.

Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance.
