About carnelian:  A bright orange, reddish-orange, or reddish-brown colored gemstone from the Quartz family. Carnelian has a long and storied past, and was once considered strictly the property of the noble class. People holding a high social status were often buried with this gem stone.  Carnelian (also sometimes referred to as cornelian) is found primarily in India, as well as various sites in South America.  Carnelian nourishes and vitalizes your entire being, bestowing optimism and enthusiasm for life.
