Receive one Carnelian freeform per order, intuitively selected, approx. 2.5" to 3" tall. Each freeform is unique and will vary in pattern and shade.

Fire with a frosted seam. These polished Carnelian freeforms stand upright on flat bases, glowing in shades from tangerine and burnt orange to deep cherry red. Many carry a band of sparkling, sugary white crystal running through the stone, and some swirl with fine white banding and soft concentric rings. Each has its own personality, from nearly solid fire to a bold white stripe straight down the middle.

Carnelian reminds us that the physical body is our spirit’s earthly temple, worth keeping healthy and thriving as best we can. It’s perfect for days when your get-up-and-go got up and went. It’s prized for restoring vitality, motivation and a genuine zest for life, and it’s a favorite of artists, performers and anyone starting something that takes nerve: the pitch, the audition, the first page. It builds courage and personal power while cooling anger, and helps you trust your own perceptions and act in the present instead of replaying old stories. Traditionally a protective stone, it guards against envy and resentment, and kept near the front door it’s said to invite protection and abundance into the home. The ancient Egyptians set carnelian in amulets to protect the dead on their journey to the afterlife. Katharine, our founder, keeps a piece in her car.
