Examining North American Carnelian
Examining North American Carnelian
We take a look at carnelian in this video.
I briefly cover the types and colors carnelian found in North America. I’ll also get into the formation of carnelian.
Forgive the filmstrip intro music. It seemed appropriate, and made us crack up when editing this video. We figured you might find it amusing for the same reason we did. 😉
There is a full length article about cryptocrystalline quartz on my website.
(Let’s quietly pretend I didn’t tell you what my day job is. THIS is how I manage stress.)
The article has much more information than could be covered in a single video without the benefit of a full editing suite.

This has to be one of the most helpful hounding video’s iv watched yet so much key info all in a short video cheers David Briggs
Great video. I find many little ones like the many you have shown in this video. I never know exactly what I have because as you shown they can look so different at time. Great video. Enjoyed the teaching 🙂
A LO QUE HE LEIDO EL ROJO, O ROJO OSCURO ES EL QUE. MAS HARA EFECTO, O SEA SERA MAS EFECTIVO.
Wow those were some awesome pieces of carnelians. When you were naming them from different locations had you actually gotten those from that location?
You can’t find them in southwest Pennsylvania. Basically, you can only find basic leaf fossils there. It’s a desert.
So the Moganite content varies accordingly! So you could have an agate which is 20% Moganite and you could have one with 80%, would that be a fair observation?
Great video and extremely well said!! Instantly subscribed!
Hey david this is another great video, I truly appreciate the knowledge and just seeing parts of your collection from your area. I have been finding nice carnelian like this in northern Oregon. I love the color these stones range, but mostly I find caramel colored agates, with the occasional deep red or orange. Maybe you could do a video on Jasper i.d. and the confusion of green jasper/ Oregon jade etc, that would be intersting to hear your thuoghts and see some of your jasper collection!
You have some awesome teaching aides! Those pieces are mighty fine!
Awesome video again bro.. Love when we find it in the orange and reds.
I LOVE THIS SO much! So which one is more valuable? I find these all over Northern California ❤️
Just subscribed. Quick question. I live in Thailand, near Burma. I like to take walks around the public wooded areas and have found some carnelian, agates, etc. Is this stuff worth anything? I like it as a hobby but I am wondering if I can make some money on the side too?
Found some near a few rock circle formations is this stone used in native american cultures??? Or traded by them ??
Very informative! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I just wanted one to go in the tea…I waited all video!
BUENO ESTE SE ME HIZO UN POCO DESENTE QUE LOS OTROS VIDEOS,.
EL SARDIS, O CORNALINA ES EL MATERIAL O PIEDRA QUE TOENEN QUE UTILIZAR PARA DESTRUIR LOS ASTEROIDES, Y METEOIRITOS QUE VIENEN HACIA LA TIERRA DICE NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRISTO, EL #SEXTO DE LA PIEDRA QUE ANUNCIA APOCALIPSIS, PARA UNA DE LAS TRIBUS, ES EL QUE HARA EFECTO PARA QUE PUEDAN DEDTRUIR ESOS COMETAS, O METEOROS, LOS CUALES SON REALMENTE PIEDRAS ENCANDECIDAS QUE ENDRAN HACIA LA TIERRA DICE NUESTRO SEÑOR JESUCRISTO.
I’ve got some stones very similar to your larger specimens but in colors ranging from orange and caramel to gray with brown or black stripes and some are even green/yellow or have no color besides staining whatsoever. I was under the impression they may be nephrite jade? My collection is from the upper-most part of northern California btw.
Love that 70’s-80’s warbly vhs tape intro music! Thanks for the video.Cheers!
nice video good info

Cool, I just found a big carnelian in Sterling NJ. Also a smaller piece that has the chrystal pockets of carnelian in the vicinity of an archaic adz in Hamilton NJ. Being a flintknapper I come across a lot of cool specimens when quarrying for chert, Quartz & Argillite for the research into indigenous regional stone tool making industries. Tks for the video.
