Carnelian (raw stone) 1 pc.

Natural stones and minerals have fascinated people for centuries. Their beauty, unusual colours and irregular shapes captivate and inspire. It is not without reason that stones and minerals have become a popular item of jewellery or decoration, and are often used as amulets and talismans. Stones and minerals are gifts from Mother Nature herself. They are formed deep within the Earth, as a result of geological changes. Their beauty is unique and one-of-a-kind. Each stone is different and has its own unique character. In addition to their beauty, stones and minerals also carry powerful energy. Many people believe that stones have magical properties, have protective powers and can bring good luck and fortune. Believing in their power, it is a good idea to carry them close to you, as jewellery or tucked away in your wallet or purse. You can also place them in areas where you are frequently present, such as in bedroom or on your desk at work. It is also a good idea to use them as part of rituals such as yoga, meditation or the ritual of smudging with Palo Santo or white sage.

Carnelian is one of the most beautiful and energetic gemstones. It comes from the chalcedony family, which are silicate minerals with a characteristic translucent appearance. It owes its name to the Old French word cornele, which means "fruit of the cornus, dogwood". Indeed, with its shape and colour, carnelian resembles a fruit that was widely appreciated in ancient times. Today, few people remember them anymore. Carnelian is characterised by its beautiful, vibrant colour with shades of red, and orange. It is very susceptible to heat treatment, thanks to which it is possible to deepen its colour – the majority of carnelians currently available on the market undergo such a process. The stones we sell are in the form of natural, raw and uncoloured nuggets.

Carnelian is a stone full of energy. It stimulates action, gives courage and motivation. It also helps to express creativity and emotions. On the one hand, it brings out strong emotions and feelings: love, passion, optimism, determination, self-confidence. It is therefore recommended for people who are apathetic and need an injection of strong, positive energy. On the other hand, carnelian soothes overly strong emotions and protects against negative influences. It calms agitated thoughts, soothes overly strong tempers, reduces dormant aggression within, and promotes concentration. It is the ideal stone for people who want to increase their self-confidence and motivation, improve creativity and imagination or reduce stress and tension.

How do you choose the right stone? Choosing the right stone is a matter of personal preference. It is advisable to follow your own intuition and the whispers of your heart. You can also use your knowledge of the properties of individual stones and minerals. They are also strongly associated with astrology. Their properties are attributed to specific zodiac signs. Carnelian is the zodiacal stone of Scorpio.
