Tumbled Carnelian

Crystallization: trigonal system
Family: quartz
Colors: orange, sometimes streaked

Chakras: 2nd - sacral center

Soul: carnelian is the founder of physical energies and reveals the essence of the physical plane; promotes stability and idealism

Subconscious: it instills the courage necessary to face daily life

Mental sphere: it conveys the right pragmatism to solve problems and finish what has been started

Emotional sphere: makes emotions clearer and more distinct; allows the experimentation of both pleasurable and painful sensations, confirming the certainty of being able to face them without losing emotional control of oneself

Body: carnelian improves blood quality, stimulating the small intestine, metabolism and the circulatory system; effective against cystitis and problems with the uterus, prostate, bladder and kidneys

Other Special Features: as a mineral, its effect is appreciated over time as it works slowly but incisively and must therefore be used for long periods; as an elixir it has a very strong effect

Cleaning and Charging: immersion in cold salt water (even a few hours); alternatively, Reiki interventions or with a violet flame or rest on a family of amethyst or rock crystal; sunbathing (no direct light) and moonlight regenerate its vitality. When the carnelian has given up all the energetic potential it has, it will become fragile and break; at that point it is appropriate to return it to nature, releasing it into the sea or a watercourse

Usage: carry it with you (in your pocket or in a natural fiber bag hung around your neck); wear it as a stone mounted in necklaces, bracelets or pendants; it is not advisable to sleep with it as it gives vitality and could prevent the relaxation necessary to fall asleep; excellent during moments of meditation and reiki treatments; it can be adhered with a plaster to the skin at the 2nd chakra; fundamental mineral in crystal therapy treatments
