Carnelian - Energy Booster



First, I would like to take a moment to address something about crystals. I’ve had several people mention they felt using crystals was in some way bad or had to do with magic. The crystals I use are all natural and come from the earth. Now, if you believe as I do that GOD created the world, than you have to believe since these came from that earth he created, they would have healing properties.

The Carnelian was once considered to be only owned by the noble class, with a high social status. There were often buried with the nobles to protect the traveler after death and guard against evil.

It is a variety of chalcedony, and come in shades of light to very dark red. It’s affiliated with Taurus, Cancer, Leo and Virgo signs of the Zodiac. It is often used on either the root or sacral chakra. The Carnelian is often given as jewelry for the 17th anniversary.

The Carnelian has a long list of properties, but is most associated with giving an energy boost. The other properties are as follows:

  • Protects from bad vibrations
  • Helps give a sense of humor
  • Calms the temper
  • Helps those with self doubt find their inner strength
  • Boost and helps improve appetite
  • Purifies the blood
  • Relieves menstrual cramps
  • Beneficial in the treatment of infertility
  • Enhances passion and desire
  • Helps remove fears
  • Protects against envy and rage
  • Used for help with kidney problems
  • Helps fight against colds and pollen allergies

It is often used by artist, as it is also known to promote creativity. As you can see it is a stone used for many reasons, and has a vast number of healing properties.

The Carnelian can be easily found for purchase from many sites on the internet, but always be sure you are getting the natural stone, and not a simulated variety. I will soon be selling the stones and my hand made jewelry on my website http://www.readingsbymsyovnne.com/ and will let you know when my shop is open for business.
