Carnelian, 2 mm faceted bead strand

Carnelian is a natural orange chalcedony or red agate (quartz). The color ranges from orange to flesh-red.

The orange-red carnelian represents strength, energy, and courage, helping us rediscover a new zest for life and good cheer during periods of depression. Carnelian also promotes a desire for social interaction and creative exchange.

According to the literature, it is often used physically to treat digestive problems, to stimulate the metabolism and generally to stimulate circulation and blood flow.

Red agate is often referred to as carnelian, but unlike the naturally orange carnelian, it is colored.
