Not Just Another Agate

Carnelian-Is not simply Another Agate

Carnelian’s deep red-browns, rich oranges, and lively red hues prove that it’s not your average agate. The lively color should be worn by those who need a little “get up and go” in their daily routine. No need to be sad or depressed when wearing this gemstone because it is said to rid the wearer of such emotions from their emotionally makeup. A carnelian stone turns a person who keeps wearing it for a long time, into a more lively, active and sensitive human. This gorgeous gem would be admired by anyone.

Carnelian is believed to help protect you in the next life as well as this one. A carnelian stone was placed on a mummy to protect them from evil spirits to aid the mummy’s spirit to reach the afterlife. That’s some powerful stone! Ninas Design Jewelry has beautiful jewelry made with Carnelian.

Used by the Egyptians as one of their most prized stones, along with lapis and turquoise, carnelian makes great jewelry because of its rich and vibrant colors. Putting carnelian with onyx makes a necklace capture attention. The red and black are truely stunning when combined in such a manner. A pretty carnelian stone with jade can be a beautiful earthy piece of jewelry. It is very true, that wherever you dress up in carnelian you shall create good impression and you should not be taken aback if people mention that you look very attractive in stone.
