Carnelian Teardrop Pendant, set in Sterling Silver, birthstone for July (together with Ruby) & also linked to the star sign Virgo
This Carnelian Teardrop Pendant is set in 925 Sterling Silver. Carnelian is a very popular semi-precious stone and is the birthstone for July (sharing it with Ruby). This large pendant with its elegant but simple shape together with its strong dark orange colour is really eye-catching.
Carnelian is a translucent, orange, semi-precious stone. The soothing nature of this autumnal pastel shade is quite superb, and also very calming. It is easy to overlook this stone with its gorgeous colour being one of the more unusual semi-precious stones. It is classified as a silica mineral, and it is also a form of chalcedony. The ‘rusty’ orange colouring is due to the presence of iron oxide during the formation of the mineral. As with other forms of chalcedony its use in carvings and jewellery goes back thousands of years. The Romans discovered that hot wax didn’t adhere to it, this made it invaluable for imprinting seal rings.
Metaphysically, carnelian is a stone with a reputation for attracting prosperity and good luck. It is a stabilising stone, and is also excellent for restoring vitality and motivation. Carnelian is a stone that can stimulate creativity, and sharpen concentration and also invigorate the mind and body. This is a stone that can calm anger, dispel mental lethargy, replacing them with love and also deep fulfilment.
