Carnelian Star
A stabilising stone, Carnelian restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success.
Carnelian is useful for overcoming abuse of any kind. It helps in trusting yourself and your perceptions and overcomes negative conditioning and encourages steadfastness.
Carnelian improves analytic abilities and clarifies perception. It sharpens concentration and dispels mental lethargy as well as protects against envy, rage and resentment. It calms anger, banishes emotional negativity and replaces it with a love of life.
Carnelian is also known to boosts fertility and stimulate sexual energy. The ancient Egyptians called Carnelian “the setting sun.” In its orange hues, they identified it with the receptive or passive female energies and associated it with the fertile menstrual blood of the mother goddess, Isis. In its red, red-orange to reddish brown shades, they considered it the active male energy stone, recognized by its glowing vibrant color.
Carnelian is also said to be a magnet for prosperity and good luck. It’s often used by people when they need a healthy dose of good fortune. Because it also functions as a crystal of ambition, determination, and drive, it’s believed to protect the wearer from the sluggish energies of incompetent co-workers.
