Carnelian

---

Carnelian is a fiery orange-to-deep red chalcedony crystal, spiritually known as the Stone of Motivation, Passion, and Vitality. It’s long been used across Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Rome for its energizing, empowering vibration.

Where Rose Quartz opens the heart, and Hematite grounds the spirit — Carnelian ignites the soul.

• Not ideal for insomnia or late-night use unless balanced with calming stones
• Works best with intention + action — it supports momentum, but you must take the first step

💡 It’s perfect when you feel uninspired, stagnant, or disconnected from your power.

• Feel empowered, lit-up, and unshakably alive

It doesn’t whisper. It roars with warmth, inviting you to step into your full expression.
