History

Throughout history, there have been many beliefs in the positive attributes of carnelian. In ancient Egypt, Carnelian rings were worn to eliminate bad tempers, hatred, jealousy and anger. Back then the stone was also used to protect the dead during their journey to the afterlife. In renaissance magic, Carnelian was engraved with a picture of a warrior or a sword and placed in the home to protect it from storms. This amulet was also carried as a protection. Carnelian was also worn to prevent skin diseases, insanity, nosebleeds and blood diseases. It was also believed to be able to stop nightmares.
