Three warm-toned minerals—orange, gold, and deep green-red—with the specific geological signatures of heat and pressure.
Carnelian is a red-orange chalcedony colored by iron oxide inclusions, hardness 6.5–7, one of the oldest gem materials in the archaeological record—Egyptian, Sumerian, and Indus Valley craftspeople all shaped it into amulets and seals. Citrine is yellow to amber iron-bearing quartz whose warmth develops through geological heat in sedimentary or metamorphic environments. Bloodstone (heliotrope) is a dark green chalcedony with red jasper spots caused by iron oxide; it was ground into medicinal preparations in antiquity and carved into Roman signet rings. Included: a carnelian egg, a citrine bracelet, and a bloodstone specimen.
Carnelian is linked to the sacral chakra and used in traditions of creative momentum and physical vitality. Citrine connects to the solar plexus chakra and to confidence and action. Bloodstone ties to the root chakra and is associated in tradition with physical courage and stamina.
A three-piece set for a desk, a bag, or anyone wanting warm mineral energy through an active day.
