Carnelian is a beautiful rusty red colored stone that comes mainly from India, but can also be found in South America.  Carnelian was said to have many mystical properties including helping absent minded people remember things.  It is also said to be a good stone to wear during anger or for hot tempered people because it helps calm anger and provide peace to the wearer.

Carnelian is also thought to be one with the earth and be a part of the Earth’s strength, so will give strength to those who wear it both physically and mentally.  It can also give inner strength to increase self esteem and confidence.
