Carnelian (also spelled cornelian) is a brownish red mineral commonly used as a semiprecious stone. Similar to carnelian is sard, which is generally harder and darker; the difference is not rigidly defined, and the two names are often used interchangeably.
Rolled gold is a metal, such as brass, coated with a thin layer of gold, usually of above 9 carat purity.
