AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This elegant pocket-dish has been carved entirely from a single block of red carnelian, a variety of chalcedony valued since antiquity for its intense orange-red color and its energetic properties. The exterior surface is polished to a glassy finish, while the concave interior carved bowl highlights the stone's extraordinary bands and natural veining, with hues ranging from ruby red to honey gold, up to delicate milky touches.

A versatile decorative object, this pocket-dish can be used as a centerpiece, a container for small items, or a simple ornamental element in environments with a natural, zen, or ethnic style. In crystal therapy, carnelian is associated with vitality, creativity, and inner strength.

A unique piece that combines artisanal elegance with mineral charm.
