Carnelian Palm Stone #3

Carnelian Aura Stone. Carnelian is orange Chalcedony, a crypto crystalline quartz. Most of it comes from India, Brazil, and Uruguay.

We have found that they are excellent for clearing and refocusing the energy channels when they are not generating a balanced and clear aura.  Please note that you are buying a single stone.

Carnelian brings us orange, the color of joy and friendship. Joy is a pure emotion, an elusive one, but a heartfelt one. Often as people grow older, they lose the capacity for experiencing pure joy. It can be a simple delight or a deep, lasting feeling. If something seems to be missing but you can’t really describe it, perhaps a bit of orange mixed in your daily life is needed. Carnelian is an ancient amulet of luck and has a long association with Virgo.
