Carnelian is part of the Chalcedony family, ranging from brownish orange to orange-red. Chalcedony is composed of tiny crystals of quartz not visible to the unaided eye, and it has been a popular gemstone choice for nearly 3,000 years due to its wide range of unique colors, markings, and transparency levels. Historically prized for carving and engraving work such as cameos and signets, carnelian remains a versatile and sought-after stone for jewelry making today.
