Prior to the beginning of the second millennium B.C. the gemstones would reached the Mediterranean either via the Silk Route(if overland) or if by sea, they would have crossed the Arabian and Red Sea by ship, then overland to Alexandria in Egypt, before being distributed by trade across and around the Mediterranean. By 1700 B.C. the Minoans(of ancient Crete) had established trade routes from Knossos to Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Afghanistan, and Scandinavia.

Onyx also was amongst the artifacts recovered of Minoan Crete(about 1800 B.C. notably from the archaeological discoveries at Knossos. Onyx became particularly famous in the hands of both the Greeks and Romans, who as described by the first century Roman historian and naturalist“Pliny the Elder” crafted beautiful intaglio seals out of onyx.

It was believed that the seven treasures of material wealth were gold, silver, lapis lazuli, seashell, agate, pearl, and carnelian. The source for most carnelian in the early Mediterranean were simply gemstones found on the surface of the Egyptian and Arabian deserts. By 1700 B.C. the Minoans(of ancient Crete) had established trade routes from Knossos to Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Afghanistan, and Scandinavia. Carnelian was one of their major trade goods, along with amethyst, lapis lazuli, and gold. Archaeologists have discovered carnelian as far away as Japan, in Iron Age burials. Ultimately by the time another thousand years elapsed most of the carnelian used for the production of jewelry in the ancient world originated in India.
