AAA Carnelian Beads

Carnelian is a very beautiful gemstone and it deserves all the appreciation, however if you know about the gemstone you would know that carnelian is the gemstone that is typically untreated. It can be color enhanced through heating. Most carnelian stones available today are dyed and heated agate. Carnelian that has been dyed will show a striped pattern when held against the light, while untreated carnelian will appear cloudy. A beautiful gemstone like Carnelian looks all the more beautiful when treated with exposure to the sun that turns brownish tints to purer reds. When this gem stone is placed in the sun, its color will change. This is often used to transform brown tints to red. Thus, we recommend storing your carnelian in box that is kept away from sunlight. You may also occasionally polish it gently with a soft cloth. Visit the online store of Ratna Sagar Jewels for a collection of unique shapes made from the Carnelian gemstone beads.
