"Love Stones": Sexual Energies and Carnelian

Properties: Sexual relations can be the most intimate and satisfying

communication two people experience. Yet sex is difficult for people

to talk about, let alone improve, when problems occur. We are all

sexual beings. It is important to acknowledge and always celebrate

this fact. We are sexual beings so it's natural that we are sexually

attracted to others.

This stone represents confidence, boldness, initiative, dramatic

abilities, assertiveness and outgoingness. Precision, analysis,

stimulates appetite, encourages celebration and brings awareness of

feelings. It is the stone of passion and sexuality and is associated

with the Sacral/Spleen Chakra. This stone helps you feel anchored and

comfortable with your surroundings. Provides a connection to the past

or to historical events. Carnelian can improve motivation. Helps one

achieve greater success in career or personal matters. Helps ground

people who meditate. Carnelian is one of the most helpful crystals

for healing trauma, stress and emotional wounds that have accumulated

in the etheric body or the Aura and are now manifesting as physical

symptoms.

Folk Remedies: This stone is one of the best for fertility issues.

Carnelian is believed to warm, cleanses and purify the blood of the

liver and kidneys, stimulate appetite, emotions, passion, sexuality,

physical energy, reproductive system, menstrual cramps, arthritis,

gall bladder, pancreas. Historically also used to pull excess fever

out through the feet. Carnelian is said to strongly influence the

reproductive organs hence its connection to the 2nd Chakra and is

excellent for lower back trouble.

Feng Shui: Carnelian is used in the Center area for harmony and

balance, in the South area for success, in the West area for

creativity and in the Southeast area for self worth.

Crystal Cleansing: This stone should be cleansed under luke warm

water once a month. Carnelian should be charged in the sun for 24

hours. Crystals react and energize by the light of the moon. The

fuller the moon the more energized your crystal becomes. I would

recommend your cleansing to be on or near the full moon so that the

light can absorb into your crystal.

History: Carnelian is a form of Chalcedony (jasper) quartz, (SiO2).

This stone does not have the typical lattice, usually found in

quartz, but is formed from the dissolving of other minerals

containing silicates. These closely packed fibers form in concentric

circles or parallel bands. Carnelian comes in a variety of colors

ranging from red to orange and, in some cases, even dark brown.

Carnelian is one of the oldest stones used in jewelry dating back to

3000 BCE and was found in Egyptian tombs. Gem quality carnelian is

called "Sard", which refers to the ancient Greek and Roman

word "sardius". Carnelian is one of the stones found in the

breastplate of Aaron.
