“The Stone of Renewal”

Red Carnelian

In Ancient Egypt Red Carnelian was called “The stone of the returning sun”, an apt metaphor for the quality and power of this stone classified as chalcedony.
It is a stone with the power of renewal and encourages understanding of the cycles of life and Nature.
Red Carnelian is a powerful ally in stages of transition, completion and beginning of new cycles in Nature and was used in ancient ritual magic to protect the dead in their journey to the afterlife.
It thus is a stone of life force in itʼs very essence, initiating, stabilising and completing anything that is subject to the principle of growth and cycles in Nature.
Red Carnelian is very stabilising and great for anchoring oneself in the present moment and at the same time aiding to gracefully adapt to the natural flow of life.
It stimulates creativity and motivation for new pursuits and is supportive in their execution.
Red Carnelian is traditionally used for protection in masonry, a practice originating in Ancient Egypt.
To this day Carnelian is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and is considered the “singers stone” stabilising the voice and promoting confidence on stage.
