There's a pretty good discussion on arcanum and familiars in the Arcanist Lore Thread.
There's not a ton of specifics on carbuncles so to sum it all up, Carbuncles are familiars created by channeling ones aether into a specified gemstone. These gemstones and the geometry used to summon them determines the attributes of your familiar, although, there's enough supporting evidence to theorize that the caster's aether used to form the familiar may also influence its personality/sentience. The familiar can be bent to the will of the caster, but seems to exist on its own well enough without a master if the arcanist is unable to control it.
It's brief, unfortunately, but I hope it helps! ^^;
