a striking and unexpected combination
of colors characterizes this necklace.
a form of chalcedony and a member of the quartz family, carnelian is one of the
birthstones listed in the ancient arabic, hebrew, italian, and roman tables
and is a zodiac birthstone for the signs of leo and virgo.
folklore suggests that carnelian was used to protect a traveler
from death and to guard against evil.
carnelian's healing properties are said to help purify the blood and relieve
cramps and back pain. also thought to be beneficial in the treatment of
infertility, carnelian is worn to enhance passion and desire.
