Like the unexpected fire of a sunset, or the first flash of autumn brilliance, Carnelian captivates. Its bold energy brings 

a rush of warmth and joy that lingers, stimulating and empowering. Known as a stone of motivation and endurance, 

leadership and courage, Carnelians have protected and inspired throughout history.

A glassy, translucent stone, Carnelian is an orange-colored variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. 

Its color varies from pale pinkish-orange to a deep rusty brown, though it is most known for its brilliant 

orange and red-orange crystals. Its name comes from a Latin word meaning "flesh."

In antiquity, as well as today, Carnelian is believed to help timid 

speakers become both eloquent and bold. [Simmons, 92] 

Ancient Warriors wore Carnelian around their neck for courage 

and physical power to conquer their enemies. In Egypt it was

 worn by master architects to show their rank of builder, and alchemists 

of the Middle Ages used it as a boiling stone to 

activate the energy of other Chalcedonies. 

As the first stone in the breastplate of the High Priest, it signified the blood 

of the martyrs [Kunz, 303, 305], and was once believed to prevent illness and the Plague.[Fernie, 138]

The ancient Egyptians called Carnelian "the setting sun." In its orange hues, they identified it with the receptive or passive 

female energies, and associated it with the fertile menstrual blood of 

the mother goddess, Isis. In its red, red-orange to reddish brown shades, they 

considered it the active male energy stone, recognized by its glowing vibrant color. 

[Eason, 72, 84] Carnelian is traditionally worn to enhance passion, love, and desire
