Kids’ bracelet with 4mm round carnelian beads

Well-being

In ancient Egypt, carnelian was used as an offering to Isis, who ruled over life and death. It was used to accompany the deceased on their journey to the afterlife.

In Greek and Roman antiquity, carnelian was often worn as a talisman to bring good luck.

In the Middle Ages, warriors often wore carnelian to give themselves courage on the battlefield and protect themselves from disease.

Saint Hildegard of Bingen used carnelian as a healing stone. She notably described its effects on headaches, bleeding, and calming the mind.

Unlike other red stones, carnelian absorbs energy instead of radiating it. Carnelian is the ideal stone for emotional or quick-tempered people. It brings calm and emotional balance.

Carnelian symbolizes the joy of living. It radiates positive energy and promotes motivation, concentration, and creativity. It encourages positive choices. It dispels superfluous thoughts to better anchor yourself in reality.

Purification and recharging:

Carnelian can be cleansed by running it under water for a few minutes. However, to preserve the elastic of bracelets/ring setting, we recommend fumigation with a palo santo stick or white sage instead. Burn the palo santo or sage and pass your jewelry through the smoke. Don’t forget to ventilate the room well after fumigation.

Recharging:

Carnelian can be recharged by placing it in the sun for a few hours.

If the crystal is small, it can also be placed in a quartz geode, on a quartz cluster, or an amethyst druse.
