Carnelian
If you’ve ever wanted to capture the feeling of autumn, put it in your pocket, and carry it with you all year long, carnelian is the rock for you. Coming in a range of warm fall colors, from soft ambers to all kinds of orange to dark reds, the prettiest specimens of this chalcedony mineral almost seem to glow like tiny chunks of solidified firelight. No wonder examples of carnelian beads, signets, amulets, and scarabs can be found from as far back as 4,000 or 5,000 BC. Though much easier to obtain now in modern times and no longer considered a marker of status, people today are as drawn to carnelian as ever. It seems to soothe and comfort us in much the way a campfire does at night or a warm cup of tea on a chilly day. If carnelian is coming up for you now, it’s because it wants to send all this warmth, cheer, and coziness straight to you. No matter what the season or weather, see if you can allow yourself more time spent snuggling up in a soothing nook of comfort.
