Carnelian Earrings

Carnelian is a form of quartz and has been used since ancient times. It is supposed to be the symbol for the Apostle Philip. Its rich colour made it much admired in jewelry and especially in signet rings and seals.
Carnelian is also the Arabic birthstone for July, the Hebrew birthstone for August and an alternate Hebrew birthstone for May, the Italian birthstone for August, and an astrological birthstone for both Leo and Virgo.
