Primary Information
Carnelian is an orange-colored form of Chalcedony, a Quartz mineral. It is a glassy, translucent stone. Its color ranges from pale pinkish-orange to a deep reddish-brown, but its vivid orange and red-orange crystals are its most famous feature. It gets its name from a Latin term that means “flesh.”
Carnelian is thought to help nervous speakers become both eloquent and brave in past and now. Carnelian was worn around the necks of ancient warriors for courage and physical strength in battle. Master architects wore it to signify their status as builders in Egypt, while Middle Ages alchemists used it as a boiling stone to ignite the energy of other Chalcedonies. It was previously thought to prevent illness and the Plague since it was the first stone in the High Priest’s breastplate, symbolizing the blood of the martyrs.
Carnelian was known to the ancient Egyptians as “the setting sun.” They equated it with the fertile menstrual blood of the mother goddess, Isis, because of its orange colors, which they associated with receptive or passive female energies. They thought it was the active masculine energy stone because of its flaming vibrant color in red, red-orange, and reddish-brown colors. Carnelian has long been used to increase passion, love, and desire.
