Carnelian Apple Carving | 2968

Carnelian, also known as "Cornelian," is best known for its vibrant orange to reddish hues, symbolizing vitality and energy.

Carnelian is created through the deposition of silica in volcanic or sedimentary environments, where iron oxide imparts its characteristic warm colors. Carnelian forms over time as groundwater interacts with minerals, cementing its structure within geodes or rock cavities.

Carnelian's structure is composed of microcrystalline quartz, giving it a smooth and waxy appearance.

Carnelian is commonly found in India, Brazil, and parts of Africa, especially Madagascar.
