A strand of 20 gorgeous Warm Orange Carnelian Agate Beads bought from Hidir, a Bead Trader at the Koforidua Market where I found a lot of treasures. These beads are velvety to the touch, look quite opaque lying on the table but when you hold them up to the light they are translucent ... quite stunning. The Beads are strung on string  32" long. The beads vary in size but are about 15 x 48 mm. The strands vary slightly. In one strand some of the beads have a black swirl in them. If you would like a specific strand please contact us or you will receive one of the strands you see in the photo. "Known as a stone of motivation and endurance, leadership and courage, Carnelians have protected and inspired throughout history. A glassy, translucent stone, Carnelian is an orange-colored variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. ... The ancient Egyptians called Carnelian "the setting sun."
