<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 4397581, member: 5398&quot;]I just stumbled across more information about carnelian vs agate from yesdirt.com, so I&#039;m thinking I may have do use both carnelian and agate in the auction title (not natural carnelian) and hope that a knowledgeable buyer recognizes it as natural carnelian if that&#039;s what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;Carnelian and agate are both gemstones from the Quartz family.&nbsp; As a result, dealers are no longer allowed to specify whether a stone is genuine Carnelian or dyed agate when selling it.&nbsp; The scarcity of gemstone today, as compared to in the past, has resulted in this trend.&nbsp; Consequently, if you’re looking at a Carnelian bracelet or necklace, you may assume it’s made of treated agate; however, the buyer is free to ask about this because the dealer isn’t needed to disclose this detail. A genuine Carnelian stone can be distinguished from one that has been cleaned even by the untrained eye. Carnelian made from colored agate has color banding or streaks in the crystal, while natural Carnelian has few inclusions and a cloudy look.&quot;</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
