    Cornelian - red or orange variety of chalcedony used in Scottish jewelry.
    The beautiful country of Scotland is home to an amazing array of chalcedony  quartz gemstone, also known as agate, which comes in a huge variety of colors  and patterns. It was this quality that attracted the skilled craftsmen of the  ancient past to experiment with slicing and placing them together to form  colorful mosaic patterns. This agate work was then set into metal (usually solid  silver, though occasionally solid gold too). The best antique Scottish jewelry  often shows different slices of agate which have been slotted, plaited and  polished together into patterns to almost form one stone – some jewelry even  resembled multi-colored tartan patterns.
    When it came to wearing Scottish agates, it was the brooches which were the most  commonly worn as they were both beautiful and functional, holding those heavy  Victorian garments, capes and kilts in place.
