About Etched Carnelian:

Etched carnelian beads from the Indus Valley Civilization are decorated with patterns using a natron solution derived from plants, then baked at low temperatures between 300 to 400 degrees Celsius. These beads have been unearthed from sites in Mesopotamia and Afghanistan, though it's believed they were originally produced in the Indus River region and transported via land and sea routes.
