Carnelian: The Warm, Bold Orange Stone

Carnelian brings the warmth. A glowing orange-red that looks like it holds a little fire, it adds life to any piece. Here is what carnelian means, and where you will find it at El Rose.

Carnelian has long been associated with courage, warmth, and vitality, a stone for motivation and a bit of get-up-and-go. (Traditional associations, not health claims, as always.) It is a lovely choice when you want a piece with energy.

What carnelian looks like

Warm oranges and reds, from soft amber to deep sunset. It pairs beautifully with gold.
