Carnelian With .925 Silver 16/18" Adjustable Chain

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this chain: Carnelian With .925 Silver 16/18" Adjustable Chain (shop SKU NCCARP29).

Carnelian is a reddish-orange to brownish-red variety of chalcedony, often translucent, and is frequently tumbled or left as a pebble. In crystal traditions, carnelian is associated with vitality and with motivation. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim. The title describes it as adjustable.

The title gives a length of 18 inches. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
