Known as a stone of motivation and endurance, leadership and courage, Carnelians have protected and inspired throughout history. Carnelian is an orange-colored variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. In antiquity, as well as today, Carnelian is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold. Ancient Warriors wore Carnelian around their neck for courage and physical power to conquer their enemies, and the ancient Egyptians called Carnelian "the setting sun." Carnelian is said to attract prosperity, new resources and good luck. It is a talisman for success in any money-making venture. In the workplace, it is a crystal of ambition, drive and determination.
Carnelian was used in rings during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, often as signet rings, because the wax used to seal a letter didn't stick to the smooth stone. It was also prized for its rich deep orange hue.
This unique ring was used as a signet, with a revolving or 'flip' carnelian stone. The wonderful, floral band is inscribed RCC and dated 1818. A wonderful, bright and interesting piece that will add so much fun to your collection!
