Carnelian is a warm orange-red, the kind of color that looks like it's already moving even sitting still in your hand. It's a stone for the mornings you need to get out the door instead of staying under the covers scrolling for another ten minutes, or the afternoons your energy has flattened and the day still has hours left in it. Hold it flat in your palm before a workout, or keep it on your desk for the stretch of afternoon when motivation usually disappears first. Carnelian is a form of chalcedony, colored by natural iron oxide, and the depth of orange varies from a pale peach to a deep, almost brick red depending on the piece. This one is shaped and polished to rest comfortably against a palm. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. A steady dose of momentum for the parts of the day that need a push.
