You will enjoy exploring the natural beauty of your new Carnelian Polished Stone. These beautiful, irregular-shaped crystals have been polished to achieve a smooth finish. While each stone is unique in shape, they average 1.5" in length (ranging from 1" to 2" across its widest point) and are of varying thickness. These stones, mined in Madagascar, are among the highest quality and grade available. These little gems are perfect for carrying in your pocket or purse, placing around the home, or placing anywhere you may need a dash of crystal energy.
Carnelian's flame-like colors vary from a pale pink-orange tone to a deep crimson red, to a rusty brown tint often with unique banding, flecks, patterns, white stripes, blue swirls, or pockets of druzy crystals. This vibrant, strikingly colored stone is prized for its fiery brilliance.
Carnelian, also called Cornelian, is often known as the "Singer's Stone" as it is believed to impart courage, confidence, and the power of expression. Ancient warriors wore Carnelian to lend them strength, power, and courage in battle. Metaphysically, Carnelian is known for aiding in endurance, courage, concentration, patience, and motivation. It is also known as one of the birthstones for the month of August.
Due to the nature of the crystalline structure, Carnelian is known for its fissure lines, banding, divots, pitting, druzy pockets, and cracks. These features are a natural aspect of the stone, adding to its charm and character, and are not considered flaws.
