Carnelian is a natural variety of chalcedony (quartz group) and is also known as red agate. Its warm color palette ranges from bright orange to orange-red to flesh red. Carnelian is often dyed to enhance its intense color.

The orange-red carnelian is considered a stone of vitality, energy, and courage. It helps to develop renewed joy and optimism during difficult and depressive periods. Furthermore, carnelian awakens a love of social interaction and fosters creative exchange with others.

In literature on lithotherapy, carnelian is traditionally used for digestive problems. It is said to activate the metabolism and stimulate circulation and blood flow.
