Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline quartz typically found in nodules or cavities within volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Its red orange color comes from iron oxide content and varies from translucent to opaque.
Carnelian is known for its stimulating effects on the sacral chakra, igniting passion, creativity, and confidence. It is said to embody the life force of the earth, offering both grounding and energizing properties.
