These are AA-grade Banded Carnelian tumbled stones from Francistown, Botswana, sold by the piece or by the pound. The alternating orange and red bands record layers of iron-tinted silica laid down as the chalcedony formed. Each piece runs 0.50-1.25 inches at Mohs 6.5-7, sourced through a community partnership. A favorite creativity stone for pockets.
Carnelian runs from pale peach to deep rust red. The color comes from iron, and the best pieces have a warmth that feels almost lit from within. It's a variety of chalcedony, related to agate, and it polishes up with a glassy shine.
Our tumbled stones are sourced from Francistown, Botswana. Worth knowing: a lot of the carnelian on the market is heat-treated. What we carry is natural and untreated.
It has been one of the most popular gemstones throughout human history, used in everything from Egyptian funerary jewelry to Roman signet rings.
Those who work with carnelian often turn to it for a quiet sense of renewal, settling into who you already are, and making space for new ideas. It's traditionally linked to the sacral and root chakras. If that resonates, keep one nearby when you're making something with your hands. How you use it is up to you.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Carnelian sits at 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
Natural carnelian from Francistown, Botswana. Untreated. Some commercial carnelian is heat-treated agate; ours is natural.
You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens have their own product pages and say so.
Each piece measures 0.5 to 1.25 inches on its longest side and weighs 5 to 15 grams. About 64 to 96 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
This batch is from Francistown, Botswana. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it goes on sale, not taken on the supplier's word. AA means high quality: stronger color, cleaner formation and a more refined finish. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeSourced through a regional cooperative or community-based workshop. Processing and economic benefit stay local, which means more of the value reaches the people doing the work. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the product page. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
