Delphine's words on Carnelian :

"Carnelian is one of my favorite stones as it brings joy, optimism and happiness just through the intensity of its color. Its vibration enhances our creative and creative abilities, it allows us to better see our creative ideas and then give them life with ease and fun. It facilitates inner transformation with gentleness and confidence. It acts as a balm to the heart during phases of intense change or transition.
Its orange-red color is an invitation to choose more lightness and joy in our daily life. It allows to take height in our life experiences, to find new solutions.

On an emotional level, it replaces painful experiences of the past with more creative choices in the present. On the physical level, this stone that brings courage allows to free the pelvis from certain traumas and opens you to more hedonism in your life. On the mental level, it invites everyone to see the glass as half full and be grateful for what is already present in our lives. On a spiritual level, carnelian is a stone of "comfort" that can bring vitality, self-esteem and compassion.

It is also beneficial for concentration, memorization and offers more inspiration.
Carnelian is one of the chalcedonies, orange-red in color due to the presence of iron oxide. Its main deposits are found in India, Brazil, Uruguay and Madagascar."
