GEM STONES (CARNELIAN
ORNAMENTS)
‘Carnelian'
is a type of a precious stone. In Tamil Nadu, these stones were used to make
ornaments such as beads, rings, etc., during the Sangam period.
It
is usually a red coloured stone. It had been used even before 6000 years ago.
Since the Indus Valley civilization, it has been widely used for jewelry
making.
Making Method of Stone Beads
The
stone 'Calsidony' is found naturally as small pebbles. The red colour of
Carnelian is obtained by heating this stone. From this, small flakes are broken
with a hammer made of deer antlers and the temporary shape of the ornament is
obtained. Then, more small flakes are broken into it to obtain the desired
shape. After that, the beads are drilled. Finally, it is rubbed well and
polished.
Thousands
of such beads have been found in Sangam settlements. Camelian beads are found
on Sangam tombs. There are evidences of making beads and stones for rings in
Sangam settlements.
Evidence
Kodumanal,
Thandikudi, Porunthal are the places where they were found.
