STONE: Carnelian is the light to dark red variety of the mineral chalcedony, which is generally colorless or light blue in its pure form. The red-orange color of carnelian is due to impurities, or micro-amounts of the element iron in its chemical structure. Metaphysically, carnelian is thought of as a creative stone, helping you translate emotions into creation. It is also believed to bring acceptance of the past and all of its challenges. This stone can be useful to help overcome creative blocks and learn to embrace all of yourself.
SIZE: 2 3/16 inches x 1 1/4 inches
CHAIN: The pendant is photographed on a silver-plated copper snake chain, available in lengths of 16 or 20 inches.The silver plating on the chain will eventually wear off, but its a great affordable option. I also have a variety of styles of sterling silver chains available to enhance your pendant, you can see photos in the Chain Section.
CLEANING: Silver will naturally darken, or tarnish, due to reactions with sulfides in the air. Each piece of Kosmic Krystals' silver jewelry comes with a non-tarnish strip and bag that prevents absorbing and trapping the sulfides and other pollutants in the air. If kept in a sealed bag or jewelry box with your silver jewelry the strip will prevent tarnishing for approximately 6 months. Carnelian is a hard stone, so it can be cleaned in a solution formulated to clean metals and nonporous gemstones, such as Hagerty Jewel Clean to keep your silver bright. Any dirt and debris can be easily removed with a gentle toothbrush and warm soapy water.
