Carnelian ranks 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, placing it in the moderately durable range. It handles regular wear well but benefits from removal during heavy manual work or exposure to harsh chemicals.
Iron oxide concentrations within the stone determine color intensity. Higher iron content produces deeper red tones, while lower concentrations yield lighter orange shades. Each natural stone shows individual color patterns.
Warm water with mild soap and a soft cloth works best. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning. Dry your ring thoroughly before storage to protect both the sterling silver and the stone.
