Carnelian Crystals: Uses, Meaning, and Healing Properties
Also known as the ‘bloodstone’ other common names for Carnelian are: Cairnelian, Cornelian, Carnelian Agate, and Sardonyx.
Carnelian comes from the Latin word “carneus” meaning “flesh” or “yellowish red”, which means bold energy and stimulation of the spirit.
Carnelian (also spelled cornelian) is formed when magma the earth makes its way to the surface, and cools, this forms igneous rock. It is a member of the chalcedony family.
It is a brownish-red mineral which contains silica and impurities of iron oxide, it is commonly used as a semi-precious gemstone. It is a translucent to opaque variety of quartz that is usually red, orange, brown, pink and shades of red.
Carnelian History
The Romans used carnelian to create a seal ring on letters and important documents, because hot wax would not stick to it. Carnelian could be pressed into hot wax and blobbed onto the letters and documents.
It is said be to a stabilizing stone, Egyptian and Sumerian craftsmen to make jewellery. Warriors in ancient times would wear carnelian around their necks for courage and power to help them defeat their enemies.
The ancient Egyptians believed it caught and reflected the heat of the sun into the wearer and so called it the "Sunset Stone".
Many ancient cultures used Carnelian as an aid to healing believing it was an invigorator for the blood. It was also used to help skin diseases and nosebleeds.
