Carnelian belongs to the microcrystalline quartz family. It is a red variety of chalcedony. It owes its beautiful color to inclusions of hematite, a natural iron oxide. The intensity of its color, red to orange, is linked to its iron concentration.
It is also composed of aluminum oxide and silica. This red quartz comes from low temperature volcanic rocks. The vermilion red color is the most popular, so it is often obtained by heating the stone or exposing it to the sun for a long time.

Carnelian is very translucent, even opaque, and its pleochroism is low (ability to see light pass through the stone and show various colors). It has a hardness of between 6 and 7 on the Mohs scale.

In lithotherapy, carnelian is a stone of serenity and calming. It has the ability to strengthen self-confidence and promotes spontaneity. It develops the joy of living and encourages you to enjoy every moment.

Associated with recklessness since Antiquity, this stone restores energy, vitality, courage and regulates excessive egos. It facilitates public speaking and provides beautiful eloquence. It breeds confidence, but not complacency.
