About Carnelian
Carnelian is a stone with a long history and has been used for jewellery and talismans almost as long as Lapis Lazuli. The Ancient Egyptians called Carnelian “the setting sun” and associated it with the mother Goddess Isis. It is considered one of the stones of kings and has been found in artefacts like the death mask of Tutankhamen.
Carnelian is associated with fire and has long been used to reignite the fires in the mind and body. Warriors would wear Carnelian to bring courage in battle and orators and singers would wear Carnelian to clarify the voice and increase confidence during performances.

Physical Healing Properties
Do you experience a slowed metabolism, immune response or slowed healing? Do you struggle with menstrual or sexual issues?
Carnelian’s ability to rekindle passion isn’t limited to courage and creativity. It also applies to sexuality and has a long tradition in use for treating infertility and overcoming frigidity or impotence. It can be used to increase sexual desire when it has been lost, or regulate it when it has become overpowering.
Carnelian is also said to help regulate periods, ease menstrual pain or bring on the menstrual cycle if puberty is delayed for too long. Try placing Carnelian on the sacral chakra when you experience discomfort and see if the tension begins to fade.
Carnelian’s ability to resolve sexual dysfunction likely comes from speeding up the flow of blood and energy throughout the body. This means it also leads to increased speed of metabolism, immune response and self-healing.
