This carnelian heart holds a sharp natural interruption… a dark metallic band cutting cleanly through warm iron-rich chalcedony. The contrast feels deliberate and geological, like pressure and chemistry paused mid-process.
Carnelian forms as microcrystalline quartz colored by iron oxides, while marcasite is an iron sulfide that crystallizes along fractures or growth zones. This band is fully natural and internal to the stone, revealed through cutting and polish. Only one available in this exact pattern.
