<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 819085, member: 5833&quot;]Carnelian is a color of chalcedony (translucent microcrystaline quartz); agate is a broad term for formations chalcedony can take.&nbsp; Banded/layered agate is what people usually mean when they don&#039;t specify others.&nbsp; Banded agate frequently includes layers that are carnelian in color.&nbsp; Agate formations can transition into more amorphous color distributions.&nbsp; When microcrystaline quartz is opaque, it is generally called jasper.&nbsp; The photo is not adequate for me to determine which of these describes your beads, as I can&#039;t tell whether or not they are translucent, but those are the points to look for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
