Carnelian is a form of Chalcedony and probably the most popular stone in that category.  It is considered the stone of courage and creativity.  Working with the sacral chakra, it activates our creative energy, increases will power and allows us to know that we can find the strength and fortitude to continue forward. Carnelian boosts vitality and encourages owning personal power.  It has the ability to keep you focused on the present moment, letting go of past negative experiences, which cools anger and assuages grief.  This stone will joyfully keep you focused, courageous, and motivated.  It promotes abundance and helps manifest luck. 

Carnelian assists those who want to enhance expression through speech or art.  It has been known to help creators of large building projects; both the architects and the builders.  It is a stone that enhances business ventures and offers courageous support during new pursuits.

Carnelian creates a pathway that leads to love and creative energies, while protecting against jealousy or negativity.

Carnelian is thought to be a fertility stone, as its fiery aspects create passion in creative pursuits, energizing libido and the reproductive organs. But consider that fertility can be applied to many aspects of life, not just reproduction.  It enhances new beginnings, gives juice to creative endeavors and basically enhances outlook on life.
