Carnelian is an opaque to slightly translucent variety of chalcedony, banded in two colours, red-white to orange-white. The carnelian owe their colour to the element iron, which occurs in various amounts in carnelian in the form of iron oxide or iron hydroxide. The colour turns out accordingly: the oxide of trivalent iron (Fe2O3) colours the stone red, its hydroxide (Fe (OH) 3) colours it brown. (Source: Wikipedia)
Carnelian has been valued as a gemstone for a long time. There are finds of signet rings of Phoenician and Etruscan origin from the 6th century BC. Chr. In ancient Egypt, carnelian was considered a 'stone of life' due to its blood-like colour.
