Veined Translucent Carnelian Galet

Ignite your passion! This stunning, fiery polished Carnelian nodule represents my favorite type - translucent! It has natural, unpolished pockets on both sides, as well as a natural, internal fracture. Size is lovely to fit in the hand, with a natural indention for your thumb. Years ago, I made a 2 foot wingspan, mating dragonfly pair (I always like to do life-sized; that's how big they were in prehistoric times) out of Carnelian, named Everlasting. That's how I think of this lovely stone - full of vitality and courage to follow your dreams and keep the love alive! Size: >2" Weight: >1/4 lb Origin: Madagascar circa 2004 Now, my friends told me an interesting story about Carnelian. There is a mountain...they wait until after torrential downpours, then they go to the river below the mountain and collect the nodules that have washed down. I think that is so cool! This is an opportunity to have a gorgeous stone without disturbing the earth. And, it was fairly traded! Discounting price to cover buyer fees.
