Red chalcedony, also known as carnelian chalcedony, is a fibrous variety of quartz vigorously colored red by iron oxides. It is usually translucent and is often cut as a cabochon.
Major deposits are located in India, Brazil, and Uruguay. Red chalcedony bestows courage, vitality, and vigor. It is associated with the sacral and root chakras, stimulates circulation, and is considered a tea for gynecology.
