Carnelian (or Sard) is a chalcedony (quartz) variety in yellow-orange color. This gemstone obtains its color from the impurities of oxide and iron hydroxide. It is derived from the Latin word “caro” meaning flesh due to its color. Carnelian deposits are located in India, Sri Lanka, Brazil and Uruguay.
