Carnelian has a reputation as a lucky gemstone and this reputation stretches back to the dawn of civilization as this gemstone is one of our oldest friends - much loved in Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece.
The presence of iron gives carnelian its orange glow and this color can range from golden yellow all the way to an almost red tone.

Carnelian is a type of chalcedony which in turn is a kind of quartz.
It shares similar chemical combinations and crystal make-up with many other gemstones types that are differentiated by either color or stripes and patterns. These include:
Although they are very attractive, spiritually powerful and full of historical importance, Carnelian gemstones are very affordable.
The prices are dictated by the color with bright reddish orange hues being the most sought after.
Carnelian gemstones tend to weigh less than 10 carats and are basically the same price per carat no matter the size.
The redder the color the better the price and gemstones that are more translucent will glow that much brighter and fetch a higher value.
Reddish stones will range from $3 to $25 per carat while lighter orange colors will be a little less, say $2 - $15 per carat.

Most Carnelian gemstones are untreated as the cost of expensive treatments is not worth the time and effort for such a reasonably priced gemstone but plain colored agate or light colored chalcedony can be turned into Carnelian after a few processes.
Any gemstone with as long a history as Carnelian will have been subject to a lot of experimentation as far as treatments are concerned. Heating and dyeing are the most obvious ways of altering or enhancing the color.
The treatments do tend to be permanent and stable but rest assured any gemstones we sell with treatments will be fully disclosed on our product pages.
India was, and still is, the foremost supplier of Carnelian but Brazil, Uruguay and Madagascar are also big producers.
Carnelian is rated at 7 on Mohs hardness scale which makes it strong enough for all jewelry items including daily wear pieces.
Carnelian is often shaped into cabochons - with flat bottoms and domed tops - which are ideal for classic or bohemian jewelry designs.
Carnelian is a traditional birthstone for August and is an alternative birthstone for July in the UK.
Carnelian is a traditional wedding gift to celebrate the 17th wedding anniversary.

Lo que me molesta un poco es que el envio rapido se cobra como tal de 2-3 dias, por lo que lo podrian hacer un poco mas economico y que sea un solo envio no dos opciones de envio, al comprar cierta cantidad de gemas o una cantidad de dinero podria ser gratis, es mi opinion, pero me encanto el sitio, mucha variedad y a buen precio perfecta para joyeria personal o regalos...

I love the variety of stones available, and especially that I'm not buying from a stock image -- the stone I see online is the actual one I'm getting.
