Carnelian – a vibrant stone that boosts confidence
The semi-precious stone known as Carnelian is one of the world’s most unique semi-precious stones - reputed ‘to banish emotional negativity and replace it with a love of life.’ – claim UK-based Charms of Light who specialise in the assistance of paving the way to a greater understanding of the natural energies and power found within mother nature’s stones.
Revered as a stone able to assist in boosting fertility, our collection of 15 pieces of oval cylinder-shaped Carnelian barrels have been etched with Chinese script depicting good fortune and well-being and an oriental-looking face - should find their way into any aspiring beader jewellery-making bead box.
Carnelian is mined in many regions throughout India, while sizeable deposits are found in Uruguay and Brazil in South America as well as the island of Madagascar off the South African coast. In the United States, large deposits are mined in Oregon and New Jersey.
The stone is believed to attract good fortune and loves warm water where it is believed to enhance one's creativity.
The world is your oyster, as they say, and the same can be said for the opportunities to create amazing pieces of jewellery with these beautiful beads such as a bracelet, bangle, necklace, or anklet.
That said, this collection, which weighs in at 84 grams, has been heavily discounted with each bead now costing $2.50 each – a must-have for the jewellery-making box of goodies.
