Carnelian
Carnelian is a mineral with brownish-red hues used in jewellery for as long as 12,000 years. Own a natural and historical accessory relic first used as beads in Eastern Europe with a carnelian pebble from our collection at Fossils UK. The mineral’s colour can range from as light as pale orange to dark as black, but all shades make perfect additions to your home office or mantlepiece. Choose from polished pebbles ethically sourced from Madagascar, or browse our full range of crystals for more.
Carnelian has been known as the “stone of motivation” due to its ancient association with courage and vitality. It has carved out a vigorous reputation throughout history; it's believed to inspire action and help wearers and owners defy hesitation. It's also perceived to enhance self-belief and feelings of empowerment. Positive self-imagery and creativity are also strongly associated with carnelian, which is why many creative artists, such as writers and musicians, have been known to wear carnelian jewellery.
