The name of a gemstone (faceted) a red orange color: I think it starts with "P"?

Not a Carnelian which is opaque. This one is more like a Sapphire and has some translucency.
Of the list you gave, how many would be a bright orange-red or red-orange color?
vromicus...that's it! thanks.

the only thing i can think of matching your description is Padparadscha Sapphire, although most people are not aware of this beautiful stone.

Tourmaline – October's Gemstone of a Hundred Hues

Tourmaline is a semi-precious gemstone frequently incorporated into some of the most modern, beautiful handmade jewelry in the world. It is found in a wide selection of colors and shades, and is widely recognized as the October birthstone as well as the zodiac sign of Leo and the 8th anniversary gemstone. But beyond its modern-day uses and associations, tourmaline holds a decadent mythological, spiritual and etymological history that adds nostalgic value to its already strong aesthetic worth. Read on for more information that will help you fall in love with your tourmaline jewelry – or inspire you to buy some today!

The name Tourmaline comes from the Singhalese expression "tura mali," which means the "stone of mixed colors." Tourmalines are also known as the "chameleon stone," because they display a vast array of colors that are similar to several other colored stones. For example, Rubelite Tourmaline is named after its ruby red raspberry color.

Some Tourmalines can display two or more colors at the same time, such as watermelon tourmaline--pink on the inside, rimmed with green, exactly like the fruit itself! There are also varieties of Tourmalines that display color change when exposed to different lighting, exhibiting the phenomena chatoyancy. Around 1500 BC, A Spanish conquistador confused a green tourmaline crystal for an Emerald. In 1800, scientists realized that the tourmaline was a different species altogether.

Tourmaline gemstones look best as parts of formal evening jewelry when darker hued stones are paired with diamonds, quartz or pearls. More casual combinations include softer contrasts of green tourmaline with rose quartz; or blue tourmaline with green peridot; pink tourmaline with light aquamarine; yellow tourmaline with ruby. To see a selection of handmade artisan jewelry featuring tourmaline, click here. Tourmaline is typically considered a sophisticated gemstone that works well with any outfit. In earrings, tourmaline colors can be chosen to enhance the luster of blue, green or hazel eyes.

Tourmaline gemstones are believed to promote balance, love, friendship, and protection, in addition to physical healing and instill wealth for the wearer. Tourmalines are found in Brazil, and Afghanistan, in addition to Myanmar, India and Kenya, just to name a few.

Mohs' Hardness score is based on a 10 point scale where 10 is the most resistant, like a diamond, and 1 is easily scratched, such as Talc. Tourmaline gets a score of 7-7.5, meaning that it is quite scratch resistant and therefore suitable as a component of everyday jewelry. Tourmaline gemstones should be regularly cleaned by a professional or with a soft rag and mild soap and water. Other methods, including ultra-sonic clenares, solvents and harsh chemicals should be avoided when cleaning your handcrafted jewelry as exposure to these elements can damage semi-precious and precious gemstones and pearls.

Tibetan Dzi Beads

Dzi beads have been deeply embedded in Tibetan culture for many centuries. These beads are considered to be the most precious living charms or gemstones in Tibet, and have been worshipped and passed down for many generations. They attribute so much value to these beads, that in Tibet, these ancient beads are also at times used for mortgage purposes in banks. There are many legends associated with the Dzi bead: It is believed that these beads were created not by man but by the Gods. For this reason there are supposed to bring good luck and also ward of evil influence. The Tibetans also believe that wearing these beads prevents physical harm, because the beads take the impact of the harmful external force upon themselves. It is also believed that the beads choose their own owners, and will not remain with an unlucky person for very long. Much like the philosopher’s stone, that all alchemists are in search of, Dzi beads are also revered as supernatural gemstones with magical powers.

These magical Dzi beads are shiny gemstones that are generally found with universally recognizable patterns such as that of eyes, circles, squares, and even wave patterns. Some of these beads contain rare patterns and are considered to be especially potent, and effective in its magical abilities. One such rare kind of Dzi beads is with the silhouette of the Goddess of Mercy, Kwan Yin, outlined on the bead. It is generally believed that Dzi beads with different patterns have different powers, and therefore serve different purposes.

This gemstone, a type of agate, was formed under the earth many thousands of years ago, and is considered to be extremely auspicious among several Asian countries, but Tibet in particular. Dzi stones may have made their first appearance between 2000 B.C. and 1000 B.C. in ancient India, where the fear of the ‘evil eye’ was taken very seriously by the people.

Since these beads are found in the earth, Tibetans are convinced that they have been created by divine forces. That is why they think that donning the Dzi bead would keep evil spirits, sickness, misfortunes and sudden death at bay. It is also known to balance the body’s yin and yang and the five elements, thus improving the body’s immunity system and promoting overall good health. Apart from these reasons, Tibetans also wear the dzi bead for increase in wealth and prosperity, spiritual enlightenment, or for attaining a feeling of calmness within oneself. Certain types of Dzi beads (especially the 2-eyed ones), are also known to enhance chances of finding love partners, and are therefore beneficial for singles.
