ORIGIN

Carnelian is found in Brazil, India, Madagascar, Scotland, the United States, and many other places. 

ENERGY

It controls the flow of energy and is the centre of gravity of the body. It is the centre of the body's Life Force and controls the flow of information from the body to the mind and from the mind to the body.  Its high energy helps restore lost vitality and motivation and stimulates creativity for new pursuits

COLOURS

Comes in an array of dazzling orange reds, sometimes striped with white. Typically a rich dark reddish-brown.  Often a solid colour, it may also be banded and can range from yellow-orange to rich, near reddish-orange to a deep reddish-brown. 

USAGE

For those who need help to reignite the flames in their fire, Carnelian will help release your power. The Carnelian crystal is all about bringing vitality to those who are feeling a little lost and sluggish. This bright burst of energy will get you back on your feet drive you forward, especially when it comes to creative projects. It isn't called "The Artist's Stone" for no reason.  Carnelian invites you to write, paint, dance and sing.
