Carnelian is a gemstone that has a captivating effect, similar to the flash of a fiery sunset or the first blaze of autumnal brilliance. It symbolises bold energy, warmth, and joy. Carnelian is known for its ability to promote courage, endurance, energy, leadership, and motivation. The ancient Egyptians referred to carnelians as "the setting sun" or the "Sunset Stone" because of its orange hues, which are associated with more female, passive, and receptive qualities. The stone is also linked to the rich and fertile menstrual blood of Isis, a major goddess in the old religion. However, when the stone's hues are redder, red-orange, and reddish-brown, it becomes an active male energy stone. Carnelian is traditionally worn to enhance desire, love, and passion, as it can help in these areas.
