AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In Madagascar, carnelian deposits are mainly found in the Antsirabe region, located in the central part of the country. Here, carnelian forms in sedimentary rocks, particularly in clays and sandstones, where it has been transported by river sedimentation.
The formation of carnelian in Madagascar is linked to volcanic activities that occurred in the past in the area, which caused the deposition of sediment layers in the beds of rivers and lakes. Over millennia, these sediments have been subjected to compression and erosion, leading to the formation of sedimentary rocks rich in minerals, including carnelian.
Today, carnelian is extracted from open-pit mines or underground galleries, where workers search for blocks of precious stone and extract them using cutting and polishing techniques. Thanks to its beauty and quality, Madagascar's carnelian is highly valued in the world of jewelry and craftsmanship, and is often used to create jewelry, art objects, and design pieces.
