Carnelian Triangle Stone Strand
Description
Beautiful strand of polished carnelian triangle beads showcasing warm shades of orange, red-orange, and rich amber tones. Each stone features natural variations in color and pattern, creating a unique and eye-catching strand ideal for jewelry making, beadwork, and creative design projects.
Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz composed of the silica minerals quartz and moganite. Prized for its vibrant fiery hues, carnelian ranges from translucent orange to deep reddish-brown, with its distinctive coloration resulting from traces of iron oxide within the stone. Its smooth, waxy luster and natural warmth have made it a popular gemstone for ornamental and decorative use throughout history.
Due to the natural formation of the stone, bead size, shape, color, and translucency may vary, adding to the individuality and character of each strand.
This strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace. Although the strand can be worn "as is," the raffia holding it together is not durable and may break with use. For this reason, we recommend that you restring the beads before wearing them.
