Carnelian crystal meanings are thought to encompass the energy of vitality and action. It is believed to help us take the leap and manifest our thoughts and desires. Also, it may help one overcome fear and embrace change and transformation. Similarly, it is a stone of leadership and courage. Carnelian is believed to strengthen and fortify the physical body, bringing vitality and detoxification.
This crystal varies in colour from pale to deep orange and can often be banded. It's name is said to derive from the Latin word cornum, a type of red cherry. Traditionally, it was believed to bring courage in battle to the wearer. Also it was thought to help timid speakers become bold and eloquent. In ancient Egypt it was called the setting sun. Similarly, it was believed to protect against accidents and master architects wore Carnelian to denote their rank. In addition, in Ancient Rome, it was thought to bring prosperity and good fortune. Likewise, hot wax doesn't stick to Carnelian so it was often used as a carved signet ring for sealing documents. In conclusion, if you need some inspiration to put your dreams into action, Carnelian is thought to be an excellent healing crystal to help you achieve your goals.
Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony, a mineral of the quartz family with a hardness of 7. The quartz in Chalcedony forms in fibrous layers, unlike the sugar-like grains found in Jasper. Carnelian is found in India, Brazil and Uruguay.

Jewellery Warranty & Care
When crafted into jewellery, some crystals are more hardy than others.
For everyday wearers, we recommend crystals that fall in the Quartz family or have a Moh's hardness level of over 5.5-6.
Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals.
Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. These are best as occasion pieces.
Store safely, and clean with care.
Rest assured that our 1-year jewellery warranty covers any manufacturing defects.
