About This Carnelian

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.

Sourced directly from Boeny, Madagascar. 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.

Traditionally Used For

Carnelian is traditionally a stone 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, place it on your desk or in a creative workspace. Let it become part of your own quiet routine.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Low

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.

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real carnelian, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural carnelian from Boeny, Madagascar. Most carnelian on the global market is heat-treated agate. We disclose treatments when verified by the supplier; this material reflects common practice for the source region.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

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 are listed separately and say so.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 1 to 2 inches on its longest side and weighs 5 to 20 grams. About 24 to 40 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does AA grade mean?

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.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

Madagascar. Carnelian is also found in Brazil, Uruguay, and India. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
