Carnelian, like lapis lazuli, has been used worldwide for millennia in sculptures, jewelry, and healing. It is a wonderful stone to keep with you to boost your confidence and strengthen your soul! In many Arabic cultures it is known as a stone of kings, often set in silver or made into carvings. It is a red variant of the stone chalcedony which is a type of microcrystalline quartz. Unlike jasper (another type of chalcedony) carnelian will always be slightly transparent.
