Carnelian (the stone of vitality) Earrings

Description

Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony formed from silica rich solutions that crystallize within volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Its primary sources stretch across India, Brazil and Egypt, with some of the oldest known deposits unearthed in the Nile Valley.

Visually, carnelian is unmistakable. Its colors range from soft orange to deep blood red, sometimes with subtle banding or cloudy translucence. When polished, it glows as if lit from within a fiery core trapped within the Stone. Across cultures, carnelian was linked to energy, vitality and physical strength. Healers use it to stimulate blood flow, ease lower back pain, and restore courage to the fearful. Carnelian is called the stone of vitality. It is associated with the sacral chakra, believed to enhance motivation, creativity and reproductive health. Some energy practitioners use it to balance emotional states, dispelling fear and increasing confidence.
