CARNELIAN

Carnelian belongs to chalcedony quartz family with its red - brownish color caused by the impurities of iron oxide. Ancient Rome carnelian rings were used as seals by the officials as the wax did not stick to the gemstone.In Ancient Egypt mummies were adorned with carnelian, representing the strength of Horus, the Sun God. Taj Mahal in India, iconic monument to love, has been decorated with thousands of carnelian gemstones. Carnelian is called the Stone of Courage because it strongly influences our activity in all areas of life, including relations with the opposite sex. It unleashes our hunger for life.
