Carnelian is a gemstone linked to the second chakra, which improves the sexual sphere and reproductive organs. Its shades influence different zodiac signs: orange for Virgo, cloudy for Libra and brick-colored for Scorpio. This stone embodies yin and yang energies, promotes fertility and helps in achieving one's goals, improving physical and mental constancy. It is considered a lucky amulet for those who want a child and a "money-attracting" talisman that instills determination and success.
Carnelian is a highly prized gemstone in Tibetan culture. It is associated with vitality and happiness, representing life force and emotional warmth. Carnelian's shades, ranging from yellow to bright red, are often linked to the figure of Gautama Buddha.
In Tibetan rituals, carnelian is used to create prayer malas, often combined with other sacred materials such as shell and Bodhicitta seeds, which symbolize the Buddha's enlightenment. These malas are considered powerful tools for meditation and mantra recitation, helping to increase the inner level and support positive intentions2.
