Based on my rese...Anna - glad you like what I got. Based on my research (which included e-mails with Russ, the owner of Rings 'N Things) I learned all about the agate-to-carnelian process. Because the crackle effect in these beads comes from an extension of that process (extra heating past the carnelian stage) I decided that the "Spiderweb Carnelian" term was the most accurate. Plus, it avoids the confusion between "Fire Agate," which is a much more valuable stone with a lot of internal flash, and "FireD Agate." But as you said, either way, they're pretty :-)Silver Parrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873603171743392110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705112.post-17260962000908596632009-05-29T13:37:28.104-07:002009-05-29T13:37:28.104-07:00Am soooo green right now!!

Carnelian starts out as an agate but becomes carnelian when heated (either by nature or by man)...so like a rose...under any name it's still as sweet. :)<br />Love, love, love the stick pearls !
