Carnelian activates the Sacral Chakra, located in the center of your lower abdomen, and your energy center of creativity, pleasure, sensuality, and passion. It is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold. It is known as a stone of motivation and endurance, leadership, and courage, Carnelians have protected and inspired throughout history. 

Ancient Warriors wore Carnelian around their neck for courage and physical power to conquer their enemies. In Egypt, it was worn by master architects to show their rank of builder, and alchemists of the Middle Ages used it as well.

Carnelian is a stabilizing crystal, perfect for anchoring in the present. Its high energy helps restore lost vitality and motivation and stimulates creativity for new pursuits. It improves concentration and removes extraneous thoughts in daydreamers, and during meditation.
