Please note: this is a very hard material. Even after polishing, some pieces may still have small cavities or areas where the surface hasn’t taken a full polish.

Carnelian from the Coromandel is a type of Chalcedony, so it’s completely normal to see varying degrees of smoothness and shaping, sometimes even within the same stone.
