Carnelian Banded Surcharge Stones
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.

Imposing bricks
Lay-on stones are flat, tumbled and smoothly polished (precious) stones that, due to their oval to round shape and flat sides, are suitable for laying on the body, for instance during a relaxation moment. Compared to regular tumble stones and pocket stones, overlay stones have a more flattened shape, which makes them stay well in place. Despite this consistency, it remains a natural product, so variations in shape, colour and pattern can always occur. This can vary from one type of stone to another.
Generally, overlays have a size between 3 and 4 cm with a thickness of about 1 cm. Almost all our overlays are cut in China, where they are carefully selected and processed. The product photos give a good impression of what to expect. Lay-on stones are sold per 100 gr (1x), with a minimum order of 200 gr (2x).
