Carnelian agate is a name given to a translucent orange to red to brown chalcedony. It is frequently a banded material with bands of red to orange chalcedony alternating with bands of white agate.

Both carnelian and sard are varieties of the silica mineral chalcedony colored by impurities of iron oxide. The color can vary greatly, ranging from pale orange to an intense almost-black coloration. It is most commonly found in Indonesia, Brazil, India, Russia (Siberia), and Germany.
