Carneol
Carnelian - a fiery gemstone
There are different spellings for the carnelian gemstone: Carnelian or carnelian. It is a warm, orange to reddish-brown gemstone from the chalcedony family. The carnelian's color is created by iron oxide inclusions, which give it its characteristic luminosity. It is often made into necklaces and pendants and used as a material for engraving and handicrafts. This gemstone is particularly hard-wearing. Carnelian is often found in Brazil, India and Madagascar and is mined in large quantities in these regions. Its warm radiance makes it a popular stone in esotericism and meditation. Carnelian is also known as "sardine", although this is often a synonym for darker varieties. With strong banding, it is also called carnelian agate. The name carnelian comes from the Latin "carneus", which means "flesh-colored". This name has been known since ancient times. |
OriginCarnelian forms in cavities in volcanic rocks or in sedimentary deposits. Iron-containing solutions characterize its color during mineralization. Formation takes place at low temperatures over long periods of time. The best places to find it are in regions with rich chalcedony deposits. |
Use in gemstone healing/esotericismThe carnelian gemstone is said to soothe anger, resolve violent conflicts and protect the nerves. In gemstone healing, carnelian is considered a stone of vitality and joie de vivre. It is said to promote courage and stamina and activate the flow of energy. However, these beliefs are spiritual in nature and not scientifically proven. |
History and traditionCarnelian was first mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh 4,500 years ago. It was already being used by the Sumerians to make ornaments, rings and seals. In Egyptian mythology, it was considered a protective stone and is still used today as grave goods. It has great significance as a strong protective stone for the deceased. Hildegard von Bingen was the first to separate red carnelian and brown sardine. |
ChakrasCarnelian is assigned to the sacral, sexual and cross chakra (orange). |
