Carnelian
Glowing beads in shades of orange through to deep red, translucent enough to light up in the sun. Some show gentle cloudy patches or soft bands of colour.
About carnelian
Carnelian is a form of chalcedony, a very fine-grained quartz. Its warm colour comes from iron oxide within the stone. It has been carved into seals and beads since ancient times, including in ancient Egypt and Rome.
In crystal tradition, carnelian is said to be a stone of energy and confidence. It is traditionally linked with motivation, creativity and courage, and is often chosen for fresh starts.
How people use it
A bright, warm bracelet for every day that lifts a plain outfit. It stacks well with citrine, tiger's eye or gold. Tradition suggests the right wrist to send out energy and the left to receive.
Care
Roll it on rather than stretching it. Take it off before swimming, showering or exercise, and keep it out of strong sunlight for long periods to protect the cord.
Crystal meanings describe tradition and belief, not medical advice.
