<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 3010737, member: 5398"]So now I'm hoping the stone is carnelian, but I have some beads that I was told are carnelian (photo below) and they sound like glass/hard stone when I tap them against my teeth, while the stone in the pin has a dull sound, doesn't feel cold like the beads, and there's kind of a squeaky sound when I rub my thumb back and forth on it, which the beads don't. I used a UV light on the beads and the color looks kind of purple or magenta, so maybe they're not carnelian. Hopefully you can straighten this all out for me.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]289627[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289629[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289630[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
