Carnelian Diamond Crystal with Stand - 3.5-6 inch

This Carnelian Diamond is a faceted, diamond-shaped stone in warm orange to deep red-brown, presented upright on an included metal zodiac stand. Each piece is drawn from a lot, so the depth of colour and the exact size and weight vary from piece to piece, and the included stand holds it on display. The faceted diamond cut catches light across its flat faces.

Carnelian is traditionally associated with Creativity and Expression, one of the oldest continuously used gemstones in human history. It is commonly kept for Confidence and Ambition and used as a warm, motivating focal point.

Because this is a natural material, the colour and the exact size vary from piece to piece, so the one you receive will be uniquely its own.

Geological Information
Carnelian is a chalcedony variety from the quartz family, silicon dioxide, with a Mohs hardness of 7 and a trigonal crystal system, its orange to red-orange colour coming from iron oxide impurities and ranging from pale peach to deep blood orange. Heat treatment is common and standard practice: natural carnelian tends toward brownish orange, while heating produces the vivid red-orange commercially associated with the stone, and some material sold as carnelian is dyed agate, distinguishable because carnelian shows a cloudy colour distribution when held to light whereas dyed agate shows colour concentrated along bands. Carnelian is one of the oldest continuously used gemstones, chosen for seals because wax does not stick to it, and it was used in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome, with pieces found in Tutankhamun's tomb. Principal sources include Brazil, India, Madagascar, Uruguay, and Germany.
