Carnelian has been treasured since ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, where it symbolized courage, vitality, and protection. Its bold color made it a stone of warriors, leaders, and creators seeking strength and stability.

Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz composed of silicon dioxide. Its orange to red color comes from iron oxide impurities. It forms in volcanic and sedimentary rock cavities through silica-rich hydrothermal processes.

Worn by Egyptian warriors for courage and strength, Placed in tombs for vitality and protection, and Used in Roman signet rings for authority and success

I stand grounded and stable in my power. Confidence and strength guide my decisions. I welcome prosperity and opportunity with courage and focused determination.
