Carnelians Magical Ancient History
Carnelian comes from a wide and beautiful colour palette of bright oranges to intense almost black red, meaning there’s a shade that will attract almost everyone's eye.
In Ancient Egyptian text, Carnelian is known for being blessed with feminine energy and so it became a stone of fertility, linked to the power of Isis.
The Egyptian Pharaohs also believed that the stone had supernatural qualities and used it in their tombs to protect them in the afterlife. Carnelian was closely linked to the Sun God, Ra and was said to carry the energy of fire. They considered Carnelian to be a very protective stone and made warriors wear a string of Carnelian crystals around their neck to give them support and courage in battle. The Prophet Mohammed was said to have also worn a carnelian gemstone set in silver on the little finger of his right hand. This may help explain the strong appeal of carnelian in the Arab and Muslim world.
What are we using it for today?
Carnelian resonates with the sacral chakra which is linked to the male and female reproductive organ, which is why now this stone is still linked to fertility.
Carnelian is also heavily linked with creativity and is often referred to as the Artist’s Stone, it is said to increase your passion for creating new things, taking leadership roles and generally finding a new energised zest for life. Much like other fire stones, Carnelian breathes life back into your body energising your mind, body and spirit in one.
