| Wholesale Carnelian semi-precious gemstone beads and pendants. Carnelian is a red, orange or reddish-brown variant of chalcedony (pronounced cal-sid-nee) which is quartz. Its color comes from its iron oxide content. Stones may have a uniform color or may be faintly banded. It is a close relative of sard (sardonyx), differing only in the shade of red. Carnelian takes a good polish and cut, and is ideal for beads, pendants, seals and intaglios. Click each thumbnail image for product details & tiered pricing. |
