Two beautifully polished carnelian agate stones, fascinatingly translucent, wonderfully tactile.
The history of carnelian can be traced back thousands of years. In the Islamic faith, the Prophet Muhammad is believed to have worn a carnelian stone in a signet ring. Although commonly referred to as 'aqeeq', which can mean 'quartz' or 'agate', in religious texts it's widely referred to as an 'Abyssinian stone.'
Abyssinia is modern-day Ethiopia, so there's a great deal of confusion about its exact identity. Scholars generally believe it was carnelian.
The signet ring was worn to commemorate the removal of idols from the Grand Mosque in Mecca in 630 AD.
