About Etched Carnelian:

Etched Carnelian beads from the Indus Valley Civilization are created by applying a plant-derived natron liquid to carnelian and baking it at low temperatures between 300 to 400 degrees Celsius to form patterns. These beads have been found in archaeological sites in Mesopotamia, Afghanistan, and other regions, but they are believed to have been produced in the Indus River Valley and transported via land and sea routes.
