Carnelian Double Butterfly Pendant from China
Carnelian
Carnelian is a red to orange variety of chalcedony and derives its colour from iron oxides. The mineral has been used for jewellery, signet stones and amulets since ancient times. The colour can range from light orange to deep red, depending on the concentration of iron and the method of heating during or after formation.
Major deposits include India, Brazil, Uruguay and Madagascar. Carnelian forms in volcanic rocks and sedimentary deposits. Its chemical formula is SiOâ‚‚ and it has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale.
Popular varieties include banded carnelian and heated forms that are extra intense in colour, but in terms of structure they remain of the same mineral type.

Double-Binder Pendants
The stone cut into double-cylinder is fixed in a silver- or gold-coloured holder with eye. The double-inder has a length of about 3.2 cm, measured without the eye. These pendants are available in various stone types and are supplied individually. Due to the use of natural stone, colour, markings and finish may vary slightly from one pendant to another.
