Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome to the weekend! Although it seems a bit breezy, the weather is pleasant, so let’s get started and explore the wonders of Carnelian.
Carnelian, a vibrant red-orange semi-precious gemstone, has held immense value for over 6,500 years. Ancient civilizations across the globe have cherished it for its beauty, durability, and symbolic significance. The earliest known uses of carnelian can be traced back to the Neolithic period (4th-5th millennium BCE), where it was discovered in regions like Mehrgarh in modern-day Pakistan and the Indus Valley Civilization. In these regions, carnelian was meticulously crafted into beads and extensively traded to Mesopotamia and Egypt. Renowned as the “sunset stone,” carnelian held deep spiritual connections to the sun god Ra and the goddess Isis. It was widely used in jewelry and amulets, often placed in the tombs of the deceased, including the famous King Tutankhamun, to guide them on their journey to the afterlife and provide protection. Architects also incorporated carnelian into their designs to signify their rank and status. Now, let’s delve into how we can harness the magical properties of this extraordinary crystal in our modern lives.
Carnelian: Creativity – Ambition - Confidence
Carnelian is known as the ‘Stone of Action’. It is a high energy crystal that helps restore vitality and motivation. It stimulates creativity for new pursuits, strengthens concentration, and brings out undiscovered talents. Carnelian is a crystal of leadership and courage and is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold. Carnelian gives one the self-confidence, courage, and determination to achieve success in business and other pursuits. It also provides mental clarity to aid decision-making and overcome procrastination.
