❀ Sard ❀

Sard, sardonyx and carnelian are gemstones that are often confused with each other. Although very similar, these three stones refer to separate varieties of microcrystalline quartz. Sard is very similar to agate. It also resembles carnelian, and the two stones are often confused, but sard is usually less intense in color than carnelian. Sard, like carnelian, is a variety of the microcrystalline quartz, chalcedony. Sard is easily recognized as a single color stone (dark orange, carnelian is orange), while sardonyx is streaked in color with white and brown.

The name sard is derived from the Greek word sardios and the Latin word sarda for Sardis, the ancient capital of the kingdom of Lydia, which is now known as Turkey. The Greeks and Romans called this the "flint". Until the Middle Ages, sard was known as sardion. Sard has a long history and was even mentioned in many ancient writings. Damigeron, the Greek historian of the second century BC, writes that sard has a light color, or is mottled; when worn by a woman, it makes them lovable. Sard is the second oldest known name for a silica mineral, with crystal being the first. In the 1300s, sard was often engraved with the image of a vine intertwined with ivy. The vine symbolized male energy and the ivy symbolized female energy. Women would wear these pieces to attract love and happiness. It has always been known as a mineral that is excellent for small sculptures, inlays, cameos and intaglio. It has been used for jewelry engraving since ancient times and was extremely popular for Victorian jewelry such as signet rings. Sard is now often used to make beads.

Sard ranges in color from reddish yellow to brownish red to brown, with white stripes. The color of sardar is derived from the presence of the hydrated iron oxide called limonite. It scores a 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, is transparent to sub-transparent and has a glassy to waxy luster. When the stone has bands of sard along with bands of white onyx, it is called sardonyx. Sard is formed by the deposition of silica in gas cavities in lava, resulting in its distinctive white bands. The best quality sard can be found in Ratnapura, in southwestern Sri Lanka, and in the Black Hills of Imperial County, California. It can also be found in various locations in India, China, Australia, Brazil and Madagascar.

Spiritually speaking, sard is a stone that represents love, protection and courage for a long time. It is also a stone that is particularly effective for women. It used to be given to women in labor to help them achieve an overall problem-free delivery. Generally, sard is used to promote awareness, courage and courage, making the wearer fearless, successful, victorious and therefore happy. Sard is also used to defeat negative spells and energies. It has long been thought to protect against snake bites and other poisons, as well as bad dreams and melancholy feelings. Sard encourages openness to fellow human beings, takes you out of your shell and makes you more extroverted. It helps to counteract selfishness. Sard resonates strongly with the root and sacral chakras.
