Carnelian is mentioned in the newer versions of the Bible.

Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. The first row shall be carnelian . . . Exodus 28:17 (New International Version)

Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. The first row was carnelian . . . Exodus 39:10 (NIV)

You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian . . . Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. Ezekiel 28:13 (NIV)

Sardius, which is a name for carnelian from antiquity, appears in Exodus and also in Ezekiel in the King James Version in the same place as carnelian is positioned in the breastplate of the high priest:

And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius . . . this shall be the first row. Exodus 28:17 (KJV)

And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius . . . this was the first row. Exodus 39:10 (KJV)

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius . . . the workmanship of thy tablets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Ezekiel 28:13 (KJV)

. . . the sixth, sardius . . . Revelation 21:20 (KJV)

The Bible also mentions the sardine stone, which was another name that was used for carnelian:

And he that sat was to look upon like . . . a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne. Revelation 4:3 (KJV)
