Carnelian Meaning

COURAGE | CONFIDENCE | POWER 

Known as the singer's stone, the Carnelian crystal is a warm, vibrant stone that boosts confidence and the power of true expression.  It is a stone of creativity, individuality, and courage.  Just ask Grammy Award winner, Adele, who reportedly can’t perform without Carnelian by her side. 

Whenever you're called on to perform, whether it's on stage or between the sheets, be the star of your own show by accessing the healing properties of Carnelian, the fiery companion guiding you in facing your fears.

Carnelian is the perfect antidote to a bad case of the “can’ts”, like all agates, it has protective energies, and is a powerful wingman when negativity and self-disbelief strike.  Besides its eye-catching aesthetic, Carnelian can aid memory (including past-life recall), assist in finding the right mate better than OKCupid ever could and protect from anger, jealousy, and fear.  It can also help with the manifestation of your deepest desires and bring luck.  Maybe try resisting the urge to bet it all on black though.

Physically, Carnelian has been used in crystal healing to aid in healing open sores, rejuvenate tissues and cells and provide relief from rheumatism, kidney problems, gall stones, colds, pollen allergies and neuralgia.

Who needs Zyrtec when you’ve got Carnelian, right?
