Carnelian Freeform

Carnelian is a member of the Chalcedony family. It is a silica mineral that takes its color from iron oxide. Carnelian has a hexagonal crystal system and has a vitreous luster. It comes in colors that are reddish brown. The meaning of Carnelian is energy and creativity.

Carnelian is great for physical energy, and can be used to help stimulate flow in the body and muscles. This stone can help give you a burst of energy if you are feeling lost or sluggish. Called the Artist’s Stone, it can help you to be more creative and have the courage to express your authentic self. It’s a great tool to use if you are having sexual issues, as it can not only give your libido a boost, but it can also help you to discover your own sexual identity and fully step into your power. Likewise, if fertility is the issue, then this stone can assist in helping to encourage a fertile womb. Because of this Carnelian is related to the three lower chakras: the Root Chakra (for grounding), Sacral Chakra (for passion, intimacy), and Solar Plexus (for self-esteem, warrior spirit).

You can cleanse your Carnelian with a little water or smoke. You can charge it in the sun, soil or in the presence of Satin Spar (Selenite) or Clear Quartz.
