Carnelian Gemstone Bracelet

The carnelian is the most famous and, usually, least expensive chalcedony variety. This semi-precious quartz stone is one of the popular orange stones.
 
It symbolises bold energy, warmth, and a joy that lingers as much as it empowers and stimulates. Carnelian meaning is known for being a stone of courage, endurance, energy, leadership, and motivation. This Sunset Stone has inspired and protected us throughout history thanks to their bright, rich coloring.
 
Iron oxide is the source of this semi-precious orange gemstone’s color. This means it can quite easily be heat-treated, even by just laying it out in the sun. Exposing the stone to heat will darken its red tones as the iron oxidises.
 
Commercial orange carnelian comes mostly from India, but countries the world-over mine it. Brazil, Egypt, and Uruguay are also important sources of this stone helped along with iron oxide.
