Carnelian's Healing Properties, Meaning and Use

As life becomes increasingly complicated it seems difficult to go beyond just existing. It becomes harder to live up to our true potential - to thrive in our complex environment. 

At times, we can even be our own worst enemy. 

And yet, nature offers us the support we need to cope with self-doubt, and to rise from the ashes of disappointment and failure. Carnelian, the naturally vibrant, fire-breathing crystal. 

Carnelian promotes a sense of aspiration through its powerful energy. Giving you the courage, vitality, and confidence you need to take action and satisfy your true desires.

With its fiery hues, warmth, and resemblance to menstrual blood, Carnelian has also been a sign of fertility for the mother goddess Isis. 

The Carnelian stone is commonly referred to as the “setting sun” stone since it evokes a surge of life and creative energy to those who carry it. 

The majority of carnelian comes from India. Mined globally, it can also be found in Indonesia, Brazil, Russia (Siberia), and Germany.
