Significance in crystal healing

Carnelian is considered a stone of vitality, courage, and motivation. It is said to strengthen power, energy, and vitality, as well as promote a new zest for life and good humor during depressive phases. It is believed to stimulate sociability and creative exchange and is associated with the sacral and solar plexus chakras. These attributions are based on tradition and are not scientifically proven. They are not a substitute for medical treatment.
