This is our listing for raw/rough Carnelian!

We offer one (1) size at this time:

Medium: 1.25” – 2.0” and the average weight is over an ounce.

Known as the Artist’s Stone, here are three fun facts about Carnelian.

1. In Revelations, Carnelian is said to be one of twelve gemstones lining the walls of Heaven. Additionally, and on the same theme, Moses’ brother Aaron’s breastplate consisted of twelve gems of which Carnelian was prominent
2. Ancient Egyptians called Carnelian the “setting sun” and used it as a burial amulet to grant the dead safe passage to the afterlife.
3. The word Carnelian comes to us from the Latin word, ‘Corneolus’ which described the Carnelian Cherry. Just for fun, we’ve attached a picture of Carnelian cherries on the tree in our last photo.

IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE WORLD OF CRYSTALS - PLEASE READ:

We enthusiastically encourage everyone to do their own research including what Sunny calls, ‘an intuitive interview’ with all your crystals. Just as every person has things that make them unique, so too does every crystal. All humans and all Carnelians have things in common, but they are all individuals as well. Sit with them, be with them – and create an individualized relationship with your crystals. For every different crystal or stone that you order, you’ll find a brief description and some of our observations about the crystals strengths and uses. Rarely more than a paragraph, we keep it brief because we feel like it would be a disservice to spare you the journey. You already have everything you need to know everything there is about your crystal inside of you. Trust yourself! Nevertheless, if you have specific questions, never hesitate to message us.

And now, five-ish things we think you might want to know:

1. Half of the spiritual growth we’ve experienced in our life came from remembering things we had forgotten. The other half came from forgetting things we believed.
2. Regarding our photos: We are brand new to photography. All our photos are taken with an Android phone that has a non-working flash. We take all of our photos in a lightbox and then convert them to high definition to compensate for this. Our crystals are all photographed dry – never wet. Lastly, all our photographic efforts are to designed to represent our products as honestly as we can.
3. All sizes/weights are estimates that are made in good faith. Lengths are calculated by measuring the longest side.
4. Before an order is shipped it sits on our alter during our thirty-minute morning meditation during which we dedicate Metta to the order heading to you. If for any reason, or even no reason, you would prefer we don’t do this with your order, please let us know so we can respect your wishes.
5. In every way that matters, we are all brothers and sisters awaiting the family reunion. Until then, if no one has told you they love you today, know that we do.

If you have ANY questions, requests, suggestions, etc., please do not hesitate to message us. (psst!) You don’t really need a reason actually… we’d love to hear from you!
