This carnelian waterdrop carving features rich, glowing shades of fiery orange, deep amber, and warm red, with subtle internal banding and soft color transitions visible beneath the polished surface. The smooth, high-gloss finish enhances the stone’s natural translucency, allowing light to move through the layers and intensify its warm, ember-like glow. The elegant teardrop silhouette gives this piece a fluid, organic presence that feels both bold and soothing.
Locality
Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony most commonly sourced from regions such as India, Madagascar, Brazil, and parts of Africa. Its vibrant orange-to-red coloration is caused by iron oxide inclusions formed during silica crystallization. High-quality carnelian has been valued for thousands of years and was widely used in ancient jewelry, seals, and talismans across Egyptian, Roman, and Mesopotamian cultures.
Shape and Size
This piece is a polished waterdrop (teardrop) carving, measuring approximately 3–3.5 inches tall. Waterdrop shapes are often associated with flow, emotional balance, and gentle energy movement. The rounded base allows it to sit securely on a flat surface, making it ideal for display on an altar, shelf, desk, or meditation space. Its compact size makes it easy to incorporate into crystal grids or personal energy work while still offering strong visual impact.
Metaphysical Properties
Carnelian is commonly associated with motivation, creativity, confidence, and vitality. It is often used to stimulate passion, support courage, and encourage forward momentum during new beginnings or creative endeavors. Many people work with carnelian to boost energy levels, enhance focus, and promote a strong connection to personal power and self-expression.
