Carnelian Flame M

Carnelian is a red variety of Chalcedony with a history that could fill books. Due to its deep red color, caused by the inclusion of iron oxide, many ancient cultures believed it was a stone of good luck, using it in jewelry and carving it into beads, talismans, and seals. The earliest sign of its use is in Bulgaria where beads dating back to the Early Neolithic age have been found.
Carnelian was widely used during ancient Roman times to make carved signet rings for use as a wax seal on important correspondence and was a popular material for burial scarabs in Ancient Egypt, where it was called the "Sunset Stone."
The prophet Mohammed is said to have worn a Carnelian seal on the little finger of his right hand.
These days, most commercial Carnelian comes from India, but it has been mined worldwide.

Popular since prehistory among warriors, kings, and alchemists, Carnelian's reputation as a powerful stone of bold, fiery energy, a fighting spirit, and joyful motivation has been cemented among numerous cultures. To many, it was simply a stone of luck, but to those who believed in its abilities, it was a stone of making ones own luck through creativity, insight, and a deep stirring of the soul's passion.
In addition, these lovely flames are mixed with quartz, which is a powerful stone of clarity, manifestation, and amplification of the energy of the stones surrounding it.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
