These hand carved Carnelian hearts make a wonderful gift, for a loved one or just to treat yourself!

Carnelian is a type of chalcedony, a mineral group similar to quartz that includes agates and onyx. Although carnelian is typically the most affordable chalcedony mineral, it is sought after for its pale to deep reddish-orange hues and metaphysical properties. Carnelian is said to have many healing properties, and was used as far back as ancient Egypt as a stone of fertility, courage, and passion.
