Aaron: I'm a first-time reader of your "Lamp of Search" blog. Excellent and informative. Does Bahá'u'lláh write about carnelian?

I am delighted to hear you enjoyed it! I've come across one reference by Bahá'u'lláh to carnelian, a practical one, relating that the believers in Akka at that time only wore rings of carnelian. Otherwise, Bahá'u'lláh seems far more oriented towards the symbolism of ruby.
