This beautiful stone resonates with its volcanic origins. Carnelian brings the transformative heat of our Earth’s core to our core. It starts with our Root Chakra, giving us physical and emotional strength and activating our vital energies. This Root Chakra connection makes us feel safe and dispels any threatening energy. 

Carnelian relieves our energy of self-doubt and anger. It is a powerful healer. It helps us stand and move with an appreciation of the self and life. It is a stone of endurance, pushing us to keep going when all seems lost. It reminds us that any difficulty can be overcome with compassion. 

Carnelian works its way up to our Sacral Chakra, igniting our passions and increasing our creative energies. These are the energies that motivate our everyday existence, helping us to feel fulfilled and grounded. It helps us create and manifest our most passionate desires. 

By (re)igniting our passions, it is easier for us to manifest. It releases expectations of society, squashing jealousy and insecurities. Carnelian encourages us to take action for ourselves. It is great for increasing leadership capabilities, in our personal and interpersonal lives. 

Carnelian has been used since ancient times in beadwork and stone carvings.

In Egypt, this stone was viewed as the blood of Isis and it was used in ceremonies for reproductive health. It was worn by warriors to protect them in battle and lend them courage.
