These stones are the perfect combination of Cabernet reds, Zinfandel mauves, and smooth chocolate browns--hence the luscious name. What's more, the patterns are very delicate and lyrical. These are polished front and back.

Carnelian Sorry, Sold Out for Now. Carnelian is a red chalcedony--quartz colored with the
russet tones of iron oxides. Its silica content makes it hard and durable, and
some pieces are translucent. Others show an agate banding. Carnelian is one of
the earliest-known gemstones, used for thousands of years in jewelry, document
seals, and signet rings because wax does not stick to it. Use it in your work
and become part of a long and respected tradition, from the ancient Egyptians,
to the Greeks, as well as the Roman Empire. Unless otherwise noted, all of
these pieces have been cut to about 3.5mm thick, with only slightly rounded
front faces. This was done to emphasize any translucency that they have.
Satin-finish backs.
Hickoryite This pretty stone hails from Mexico. Its layers and swirls of mauve, pink, cream and warm gold will warm up any jewelry design. And the prices for these are just fab! Unpolished backs.

Starry Jasper Australia is home to some wonderful and unusual stones, and this is a new one that I discovered at the Tucson Show. Red Jasper is interspersed with creams, whites, black and beige, then accented here and there with sprinkles of reflective pyrite. An affordable new find that will make attention-grabbing jewelry. These all have satin-finish backs.
