Red Agate Carnelian

I've been doing some research on red stones. They are some of my favorites and have some of the most intense energies. Here is some information on one of those gorgeous stones. Red Agate Carnelian's bold energy brings a rush of warmth and joy that lingers, stimulating and empowering. Known as a stone of motivation, endurance, leadership, and courage, Carnelians have protected and inspired throughout history. Carnelian is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold. [Simmons, 92] Historically, it signified the blood of the martyrs [Kunz, 303, 305] and was once believed to prevent illness and the Plague. [Fernie, 138] Carnelians boost a listless attitude and can stimulate the appetite. Used as a professional support crystal, Carnelian aids architects, builders, and construction workers in their creation of master buildings. It stimulates power and stamina in athletes and military personnel, establishes form and organization in journalists, and stimulates motivation in salespersons. [Mella, 129-132] Carnelian is said to attract prosperity, new resources, and good luck. It is a talisman for success in any money-making venture. In the workplace, it is a crystal of ambition, drive, and determination and wards off undue pressures of co-workers or impersonal corporations with unrealistic expectations. [Eason, 72] Prayer/Meditation for Red Agate Carnelian May the angels of prosperity stay right by my side giving me visions and answers to help me provide. May they nudge me and guide me and show me the way to supply all I need for my loved ones today.
