Carnelian is an ornamental stone, a variety of chalcedony formed from the intergrowth of two silica minerals, moganite and quartz. The rich earthy red orange colours are 100% natural, derived from iron oxides. The pebbles have an interesting waxy texture that is comforting to hold, and the jewellery has a weightiness that can help the wearer feel grounded. These beautiful pieces are ideal for those practising mindfulness. The metaphysical properties associated with carnelian are all about positive energy! The stone is believed to enhance self-esteem, improve self-worth, and increase motivation and physical energy. The stone is also thought to enhance creativity.
