Carnelian necklace 3 mm faceted - 925 sterling silver gold-plated

Carnelian is showcased in this gemstone necklace as a finely faceted 3 mm bead chain in rich orange to vibrant orange-red. The larger gemstone beads provide a powerful, confident splash of color; the faceted surface refracts light in multiple ways, lending the warm orange a sparkling, fiery depth. The gold-plated lobster clasp made of 925 sterling silver ideally complements the warm color palette of the carnelian. Carnelian is a natural variety of chalcedony (SiO₂) – a microcrystalline quartz mineral – with a Mohs hardness of 6.5–7. Its warm color is created by iron oxide inclusions (hematite) in the crystal lattice; carnelian is often color-treated as well. It exhibits a waxy to vitreous luster. Locations: Botswana, Brazil, South Africa, Russia, England, USA.

Significance in Crystal Healing

In crystal healing, carnelian is considered a stone of vitality, energy, and courage. It is said to strengthen self-confidence and creativity, promote zest for life, and activate vitality. It is associated with the sacral and root chakras. These attributions are based on handed-down tradition and are not scientifically proven. They are not a substitute for medical treatment.
