Necklace-Bracelet-Earrings: Carnelian Heart Pendant with Faceted Nuggets on Copper Chain
Saturday, May 8th, 2010
Named after the red-orange Kornel cherry, carnelian was believed by the Romans to be a stone of courage–able to shore up confidence and strength. In ancient Egypt, the stone was placed on mummies to assist the dead in their journey to the afterlife. From antiquity, carnelian has been worn in cameos in the belief that it will ward off insanity and depression. In contemporary times, carnelian is thought by some to enhance self esteem, to combat feelings of inadequacy, and to increase physical energy. In the home, it is sometimes used as a talisman to protect against fire and misfortune. Carnelian is associated with the solar plexus chakra (the yellow chakra), in which imbalances are thought to cause digestive problems, as well as lack of confidence. Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony and is a micro-crystalline quartz. It appears in a vibrant range of fire-orange reds to brown-reds and has a dull, waxy luster. The reddish tints in the translucent stone are due to one of its ingredients: iron oxide.
The necklace is 24 inches, bracelet 7 1/2 inches–both close with a lobster clasp onto the chain. The earrings have a 2 inch drop.
