Carnelian Specimen:
Unveiling the Scientific, Metaphysical, and Healing Properties of this Fiery Gemstone
Quartzsite Minerals proudly presents the captivating gemstone known as Carnelian Specimen. A member of the Quartz family, Carnelian is a vibrant, orange-colored variety of Chalcedony. With a remarkable hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, Carnelian's name is derived from its resemblance to the Kornel cherry. Ranging in color from pale orange to deep red-orange, Carnelian can also exhibit beautiful banding patterns. What sets Carnelian and other Chalcedony varieties apart from Jasper is their fibrous layering of Quartz crystals. While India is renowned for producing exquisite Carnelians, the majority available in the market are sourced from Brazil and Uruguay.
