The orange-red carnelian represents strength, energy, and courage and helps 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 for 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.
