Carnelian Heart Pendant

Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony known for its vibrant orange to reddish-orange color and energizing properties. When crafted into a heart-shaped pendant, it becomes a meaningful symbol of vitality, passion, and courage. Carnelian is a form of brownish-red chalcedony. Its name comes from “cornum,” the Latin word for the red fruit of the Cornus tree, reflecting the brilliant colouring it gets from the presence of iron oxide. Ancient Arabians considered carnelian to be the gem of kings and thought that it contained the energy of fire and the bravery of lions. In the French and English royal courts of the eighteenth century, it was worn as a brooch to discreetly wish someone good luck in the “language of gems.”
