Carnelian jewelry of "Danielle's Creations" are my one-of-a-kind, handmade,
carnelian gemstone jewelry designs
The carnelian gemstones of my carnelian
gemstone jewelry are created from the precious
minerals formed within our earth. This naturally occurring, translucent
mineral is red to brownish red to yellowish orange and is a variety of chalcedony,
often with some iron and aluminum. The shade of red is dependant on the
amount of iron oxide present in the mineral.
Additionally, carnelian is usually heat
treated to enhance its color, as are many gemstones.
There were many ancient beliefs associated
with carnelian. It was believed that carnelian protected during travels
after death and against evil, in addition to fighting bad tempers. It
has also been used for centuries to stop the flow of blood and is said to relieve
menstrual cramps, as well. Carnelian promotes creativity and passion,
and suppresses feelings of jealousy.
Carnelian, a beautiful semi-precious
gemstone, is found in Australia (western), Brazil, Russia, Madagascar,
South Africa, and Oregon/U.S.A.
The most beautiful carnelian is found in India. But you can also
find semi-precious carnelian gemstones in the handmade,
carnelian jewelry of Danielle's Creations.
