Like the unexpected fire of a sunset, or the flash of autumn brilliance, Carnelian stone 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 Chalcedonay, 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". The ancient Egyptians called Carnelian as 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 or the mother of goddess, Isis. Carnelian is traditionally worn to enhance passion, love, and desire.
