A tiny mushroom carved from carnelian. Warm orange, sometimes leaning red, sometimes closer to honey, polished to a soft glow. The mushroom shape has a rounded cap and a short stem, small enough to tuck almost anywhere.
People buy the little carved mushrooms for altars, for shelves, for the corner of a desk that needs a small warm thing. Carnelian has a reputation for lit-from-inside motivation and the mushroom form makes the stone feel a little playful, less serious, easier to sit next to on the days you're being hard on yourself. Good on a windowsill catching morning light. Good on the corner of a laptop.
Carnelian is a chalcedony colored by iron oxide, mostly from Brazil, India, and Madagascar.
