Today I am going to tell you the story of a beautiful mineral that is known in society as the stone of fidelity. Have you ever heard of this?

The color of this mineral is related to the blood, and thanks to this, since ancient times it is believed that its numerous benefits are due to maintaining the improved flow of vital energy force through the blood.

Cornelian Stone

This beautiful mineral is considered a gem or semiprecious stone with tonalities similar to the sun, the most frequent of them are the red color, brown, or reddish orange, this characteristic is given by the presence of iron in it. When you look at a cornelian stone you will notice that it has a vitreous glow and very particular white stripes that give a very beautiful aestheticism and can transmit happiness. With a trigonal crystal system, it has a density of 2.59 to 2.61 kg/dm3 and its hardness is approximately 7 on the Mohs scale .

This gem can be carved in many ways, often facetted or table carved, but the most recurrent is the cabochon and sphere carving. It is perfect for pendant carving works, cameo or stamps and for the production of artistic objects such as candelabra bases, cases and statuettes.

False Cornelian

In the past, cornelian was imitated with colored glass; today, it is sometimes imitated with artificially colored agate using a mixture of iron-based nitrates.

Reservoirs

The most notable cornelian deposits are found in Brazil, Uruguay, India, but also in Madagascar, Egypt, Yemen and Indonesia.

Cornelian deposits can be found in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Japan, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, United Kingdom and in the United States.

In other parts of the world, beautiful specimens can be found: Germany, Georgia, Arabia, Mongolia and California in the United States, but the best specimens in the world come only from the mines of India. The cornelian is simply distinguished from other chalcedonies, thanks to its color, although it is possible to confuse it sometimes with some opals or agates. Its hardness, density and resistance to acids make it distinguishable from other types of minerals.

Cornelian is one of the most beautiful and admired chalcedonies, and it is related to quartz. I mentioned earlier only the physical characteristics of this gem. I’m sure that after knowing all its wonders you will want to surround yourself with it to know it very well.

Cornelian, like the other varieties of chalcedony, is generally found inside rock cavities and in deposits formed by low temperature hydrothermal fluids (generally between 10 and 50 degrees Celsius) saturated with silica, giving rise to strata or concretions.

Origin

The name of carnelian or cornelian is a word derived from the Latin “carnis” which means “meat”. That term refers to its color similar to that of meat. However, the word is related to words in other languages; for example, the medieval Latin word “corneolus”, which derives from the Latin word “cornum”, which in turn is related to Cornel Cherry, whose fruits are very similar to stone.

At first, I told you that it is known as the “Stone of Loyalty”, you thought we wouldn’t tell you why; today’s idea is to discover the whole history of this mineral. Cornelian is known as the stone of fidelity because its color resembles sunsets, and like them, it always returns.

Cornelian Meaning

The cornelians are beautiful energetic and stabilizing stones that possess an enormous energy level, being its most important contribution the vitality that it offers to the one who carries it. If we add the motivation and the creative stimulation that it offers you, it immediately becomes the perfect companion for those who need a small push to begin to live their life as they deserve it.

The cornelian, among many other properties, will allow you to change from inside to outside, it is an emotional journey that we invite you to discover.

If you are going through a moment of emotional decay, confusion, doubt, or just love the stones, join us in this beautiful story.

The cornelian has been present in the world for approximately 8000 years, which is where we have the first records of work done with this stone.

Cultures and civilizations such as the Romans, Phoenicians or Greeks were accompanied by this gem on a daily basis for various uses, such as the production of seals to sign official documents. The oldest stories date back to the Egyptians who gave it a truly symbolic origin, and went beyond the decorative use of this beautiful stone.

Cornelian: Mesopotamia and the Egyptians

Yes, the bloodstone has always been admired and used by ancient civilizations, but there is no doubt that Mesopotamia managed to leave a mark, equally for the Egyptians. From the royalty of Ur (the capital of Mesopotamia in prebiblical times) this stone got a place among the multiple gems. In Mesopotamia, archaeological excavations have discovered royal tombs with jewels and adornments inlaid with cornelian, because for them it was a stone of peace and light. They considered it their amulet, so why would they abandon them in their death?

For the Egyptians, in addition to its reputation as a protective stone for the pharaohs, it guaranteed the passage of the soul of the deceased to the afterlife. This would explain the amulets and the cornelian jewels that adorned the mummies of the time.

Cornelian is present in several ancient myths such as the famous Gilgamesh epic. The Romans, who highly valued this stone, turned it into very delicate casts.

For the ancient Egyptians, cornelian was the red symbol of life linked to specific religious practices. In this stone, sacred animals were carved, such as the ram of Amon and the hawk Horus (symbol of the sun). It used to be set with turquoises and lapis lazuli to reinforce its power.

Bronze Age cornalines were recovered from Minoan sites at Cnossos in Crete and were used as decorative art around 1800 BC .

Sardinian was used by the Assyrians for cylindrical seals, by the ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians in scarabs and was also used as gems by the first Greeks and Etruscans.

Early Christians, out of fear of persecution and in order to identify among themselves, used cornalines engraved with the symbols of their faith, such as fish, boats, crosses or palms.

In the Lapidary of Alfonso X the Wise, it is established that the cornelian has “three great and good virtues” and that its color is an expression of the mysterious forces of the soul.

The stone of the Goddess Isis

The goddess Isis: She was one of the nine goddesses that make up the Enead. She was particularly recognized for containing all the attributes of the other goddesses of Egypt. She was one of the nine divinities adored and associated with the creation myths in Heliopolis (capital of the Nome XIII of Lower Egypt).

At that time, it was believed that she helped the dead enter the afterlife and was considered the divine mother of the pharaoh, who was identified with the god Horus. Her maternal help was invoked in healing songs to benefit ordinary people.

The Goddess Isis was known in Egypt as “The Great Magician”, her powers were superior to the rest of the gods. Those who venerated and admired her could also easily recognize the amulet she always carried with her; it was one of her most particular characteristics. This amulet was her most precious possession, since it represented a part of her, it was her maximum protection against all the evils that haunted her. Her amulet also had the faculty to protect anyone else who wore it. Guess what her amulet was carved in… That’s right: cornelian. Or sometimes in red jasper or red crystal. The story goes that the goddess Isis used it to protect the dead on their journey after death.

Isis, besides being the powerful magician of Egypt, was also Osiris‘ wife. One terrible day, her husband was murdered by Seth. Isis “The Great Magician” was destroyed; for that reason she joined all her forces and together with her talisman, she herself managed to revive him thanks to her magic. Her amulet would never allow her to faint. After Osiris came back to life, Isis and him had their little son Horus.

The link between the stone and the Goddess that is superior to everything else. For this reason, the cornelian was also called The Blood of Isis. Isis was the archetype of the devoted wife and mother, but she was also a very powerful priestess who could dispose of life and death. In ancient times, temples represented a mystery in her honor.

Since then, the cornelian stone has a very special relationship with the feminine sex. For them, it can become the best spiritual company in different stages of their life:  When menopause arrives or when they have a feeling of emptiness or “loss”, when their children leave home and have the so- called “empty nest syndrome“. The cornelian will allow you to flourish the wisdom you already have and need at those particular times. The cornelian is a gift directly from the hands of the goddess Isis and the universe.

But not only in ancient Egypt this mineral was widely used as an amulet to neutralize negative emotions and as an aid to close painful cycles of life; it was also widely used in Japan and Myanmar.

By 1500 B.C., the Babylonians, Celts and Greeks made all sorts of objects with them: cups, cameos, rings and so on, and in Solomon’s time the priests carried cornalines as a symbol of prestige. It is said that Solomon’s powerful ring, which was a kind of seal, was made of lapis lazuli and cornelian. Here you will be able to find beautiful pieces of lapis lazuli .

The oldest Hindu talisman also had pieces of cornelian, and it is called the “Naoratna”. Also present in the crown of England called St. Edward, whose original model was totally destroyed and rebuilt by King Charles II. This jewel of history has a dome with four arches in which are arranged 12 stones, reminiscent of the pectoral of the high priest of the Israelites. For this reason it is considered that this stone also represents the nobility and every monarch must carry it.

For Buddhism, the cornelian is one of the seven treasures. It symbolizes wisdom.

Biblical meaning :

In addition to all the spiritual and physical properties of this orange stone, it also has an important biblical value, as it is one of the 12 stones of Aaron’s breastplate (Exodus 28:15- 30) and one of the gemstones of the fundamental wall of Jerusalem (Revelation 21:19).

You were in Eden, God’s garden. All types of precious stones covered it: cornelian, topaz and diamond, beryl, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and emerald. Their assemblies and adjustments were made by hand in gold; they were prepared the day you were created. Exec 28:13. HCSB, AM, LEB

The fifth sardony, the sixth cornelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh hyacinth, the twelfth amethyst. Rev 21:20 ISV, NET, LEB, HCBS.

and he who sat there looked like jasper and cornelian stone. A rainbow that looked like an emerald surrounded the throne. Rev 4:3 ISV, NET, LEB, HCBS.

The biblical accounts mention this stone many times, and it is attributed to the apostle Philip. You already know about the history of this powerful stone and transit through humanity for thousands of years, however, there is still much to know, because we have not yet told you the best part. We already know that cornelian is especially admired and venerated but now we will discover why.

Cornelian was a special stone for ancient civilizations who believed in its healing properties .

The first Christians used cornelian carved with fish, boats, crosses or palms to identify themselves.

Properties of Cornelian

The cornelian has the ability to make memorable effects on the human body, internally and externally, so ancient civilizations never separated from them. This stone, among many others properties, is known to strengthen your body and your vitality.

This stone is one of the main elements for gemmotherapy. It is important to remember that, although we believe that gems and minerals have no form of life, the theory of Prana or CH’ says that all things existing in the universe possess a non-measurable but vital element that is a form of energy.

When you place a gem in front of a person, the wave frequency it emits helps to harmonize the imbalances found in the human aura, restoring order. Much of this work is done by the purity of the stone, but it also influences that its color has a certain vibration capable of helping the human body.

The cornelian acts in a surprising way in the reproductive organs, favoring fertility. This would be intimately related to the fact that the mineral has a special relationship with the female sex; but it does not mean that the male sex cannot benefit from it.

In the beginning, we told you about the link that this stone has with the blood in your body, and how thanks to this it could generate changes from within. This gem is used to regulate body fluids and kidneys, back pain, rheumatism, arthritis, neuralgia and depression.

Cornelian also positively influences skin conditions (such as acne and psoriasis).

• 

It will allow you to absorb vitamins and minerals in the most appropriate way and you can be sure that each of your organs will be properly supplied with blood.

Psychological and Mental Properties

Although cornelian is widely used in gemotherapy for its physically healing powers, most of its power influences mostly the mental and psychological plane. So, if your aspiration is to recompose yourself spiritually and physically, cornelian is ideal for facilitating your path.

The cornelian is specially recommended to achieve spiritual and mental balance and as a protection against the evil eye.

Perhaps it is because of its precious color that cornelian is the stone per excellence that facilitates family harmony and love with the people who commonly surrounds you. A cornelian stone in your living room or office would allow you to create a much more prosperous and happy atmosphere.

The cornelian is also the stone of dreams, because it helps you turn them into reality, and it is not an art of magic. Its energy will give you the strength, security and tools necessary to go for what you want so much.

It also separates you from negative feelings, whether you feel them or someone feels them towards you; envy and resentment will gradually fade away until they simply no longer exist thanks to the presence of this beautiful mineral.

Traditionally, cornelian is also considered to be the stone of courage, power and ambition. Want something? What’s stopping you from going for it ?.

Psychic Properties

It will allow you to understand the reason for those difficult moments, helping you enter the stage of acceptance and finally move forward.

Cornelian is an energetic stone that corrects energy excesses and works from the lower planes upwards to considerably improve the energy channel. This stone, having a strong bond with women, will help them to keep their genitals very hydrated and with a good state of circulation so we recommend you always wear it as casual jewelry.

Cornelian Chakras

In addition to all the aesthetic beauty of this stone, cornelian also represents the hot cauldron of the three lower chakras.

It is intimately associated with taking bold action with its hot and fiery spirit that stimulates the root chakra, helping to circulate vital energy to its center, which contains the deepest sexual desires and powerful creative instincts.

The meaning of cornelian crystal is related to rose quartz which helps to balance sexual energy with the vibration of love.

The cornelian, in its beautiful orange tones, stimulates the Sacral Chakra, or Second Chakra, located below the navel and above the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis.

Uses of Cornelian

Mainly this stone is used to make beautiful jewelry stones, mostly by those who know that placing them as a pendant will allow them to receive all the necessary energy.

However, in the case of gemotherapy, the stone is used on the skin in the specific areas they want to work. If you choose to place the cornelian near the main door of your house you will be calling to the protection of that place and also to abundance.

Colors of Cornelian

Cornelian Orange

It is a stone of physical pleasure and intimacy. In lighter tones, orange cornelian promotes companionship and affection, while darker crystals deepen the sense of belonging and home.

Cornelian Scarlet Shades

It is a mixture between the energy of pure red and the exuberance and joy of orange. It is the color of strength and vitality, both physical and spiritual. Scarlet crystals help overcome fear and improve self-sufficiency. They are the crystals of victory, success and skill. The lighter shades of scarlet are excellent talismans of dedication in young relationships. They combine the pink energy of romantic love with the light orange energy of satisfaction with family and friends.

Deep scarlet crystals are the key to the physical pleasures of maturity: in love, in life and in relationships. Silenced with dark brown scarlet cornelian, it gives us the natural sources of energy to enjoy the pleasures of life that extend beyond the joy of youth.

Red Cornelian

It reflects the color of passion, energy and motivation. It’s a very strong color: the color of fire and blood. Dark red crystals embody strong, deep feelings, long-lasting energy and silent passion. It is a masculine color, particularly useful for increasing devotion and seeing the seriousness of life.

Cornelian as Birthstone

The orange cornelian is the true birthstone of those born at the end of summer (from 22 August to 22 September). Scarlet colored cornelian is one of the natural birth stones of those born in the first month of autumn (from 23 September to 21 October). The red cornelian is the natural birthstone of those born in mid-autumn (from 22 October to 20 November).

Astrology

Cornelian is the traditional zodiac stone for those born under the sign Virgo, between 23 August and 22 September, at the end of summer and at the beginning of harvest. The sign of the star of Virgo is the Virgin, represented as a woman carrying a sheaf of wheat and symbolizing wisdom. This is the only sign represented by a woman. Those born under this sign are very reliable, have an excellent memory and are heterosexual thinkers. They have good manners and are extremely faithful once they find their true love.

Stones are special because they have a very beautiful place in the universe, they possess within themselves millions of positive energies waiting for you to discover them to give you their protection and shelter. There’s a special mineral for each person, I’m sure of that. Knowing cornelian probably made you discover it’s YOUR magic stone.

If you are currently preparing for an interview or an audition it is very good luck to carry the cornelian with you. It is very popular among actors and actresses, as the cornelian creates a harmony between mental focus and creativity in the fusion of the right and left sections of the brain.

Cornelian is not only associated with red sunsets, autumn leaves and fertile soil because of its color, but also because of its enormous energy.

Always remember before buying your sample of cornelian that you must choose the one that most attracts you, we will not find two equal agates, we always have to choose the one we feel attracted to.

Once you have bought it, there is always the need to clean it spiritually by passing it through the smoke of an incense stick. When this is done, it is ready for use.

This gem is not only special for its beautiful aesthetics but also for its significance in history and for its particular way of helping you out of difficulties. I invite you to choose yours and start enjoying this beautiful and faithful gift.

In the earth there are living components such as Energy stones, which can help us heal by the physical and mystical functions they possess. This is how the gems are at the service of whoever carries them. 

The Energy stones can be used as a healing method because they have vibrations that are activated in the body and generate balance at all levels and serve as support for improvement.

Each Energy stone plays a role in providing the well-being that human beings need. What the stone actually does is to act directly on the chakra to unblock it and allow the energy to flow and balance the body again.

Chakras are circles or wheels of light that metabolize our internal energy and function as regulating valves of vitality.

Humans are Energy beings, but when one or more of our chakras become blocked we get sick or have physical, emotional or mental problems. 

When the chakras are balanced and in perfect harmony, our whole being is filled with mental, emotional, intellectual and physical benefits.

Hence the importance of taking care of them to avoid a general imbalance. 

Natural stones have different properties such as healing our body, calming ailments, protecting us from harmful energies and improving our immune system and are at the service of whoever carries them.

The beautiful colors of the flowers and foliage, the blue of the sky and even the glorious clouds of sunset last only a little while and are constantly changing. But the brilliance and color of precious stones looks today as it looked millions of years ago. In a world of change they remain just as charming and wonderful to look at

Since I am a girl and I know the existence of crystals or precious stones there has been an aura and shining light around them, history, mystery and a certain power, for this reason they have been used as lucky charms.

I already know what you’re thinking: “it’s about culture”, “since you were born you’ve heard stories related to powerful stones”, but believe me, in my particular case it’s not about simple “suggestion” Have you ever looked closely at any stone of amber, quartz or some other crystal?

All the magical history behind these stones has been maintained and respectedcentury after century, however, it has also been the subject of opinion for many skeptics … if you are one of them, it’s fine, I do not pretend to convince you of anything, but friend, it’s a culture issue.

Every civilization in history has revered a specific stone as a lucky charms

Egyptians

 They were considered incomplete without some kind of magical talisman(necklaces, rings, snakes, beetles and        others) all these possessed one stone lapis lazuli.

  Greeks

       They made jewelry with amethyst, pearls, emeralds, chalcedonias, carnelian, garnet, among which are counted.

Asian culture:

As in many others jade stone is venerated and used as an amulet to increase wealth and ward off diseases. Besides being very popular in China, you can also see amazing sculptures made of jade in Mexico and Peru.

One of the most popular representations of the jade stone as a symbol of good luck and protection amulet are the two Buddha statuettes made in jade in “The Jade Buddha Temple” located in Shanghai.

At this moment the question is: 

How is it possible that the culture of the realization of lucky charms based on precious stones can last in history to this day?

Ehhh, well, we do not know for sure but one of the reasons surely has to be the pile of written material about the magic and luck of the precious stones.

George Kunz, on the other hand, was an important mineral collector who became interested in this natural virtue. He developed more than 5 literary works where he explains in depth how the magic of luck works, although here we will tell you a little about them. his most outstanding works:

-The curious lore of precious stones.-The magic of Jewels and Charm-The book of pearls.

Not only in the world of literature, the magical power and the energies of the stones have manifested themselves as magical artifacts or lucky amulets, because in the world of cinema the references to the extraordinary faculties to the stones are also noted.

In the transcendental historical saga of “The Lord of the Rings” existed the “palantires” (those who see from afar) were the seer stones carried by Elendil and his sons Númenor to the middle earth, made by Feanor and Aman.

Although they use fictitious names to refer to crystals, an important reference is made to the idea that stones have magical faculties.

In the same way with the current millionaire sagas of “The Avengers” the superheroes fight to protect and gather the “gems of the infinite” which are 6 stones of different colors, which are charged with soul and “magic energy” and having the power to control the universe itself.

This type of reference is also commonly observed in animated cartoons and films such as “the jade medallion” and “in search of the magic stone”.

Why are Amulets of Luck?From the beginning, humanity has been trying to use external, superior and powerfulaids to help solve the problems that life sometimes brings, whether physical or emotional.

There is no doubt that the stones have been considered for years as a gift of natureby. by kings, magicians, shamans, fortune-tellers and other powerful people with different ends, but why are lucky amulets considered?

These are physical objects composed of powerful elements that allow you to make good things happen.

The amulets need the faith and sincere commitment of our being, when this happens we have the opportunity to reconnect with ourselves to find will, answers, certainties, faith or any other strength we need.

The methods that have existed over the years to combat the problems are really admirable.

The lucky amulets: were born in order to connect with external forces to ourselves that can free us from evil and harm, these elements also have the power to take care of even ourselves. All cultures and spiritual traditions have their respective amulets.

Why stones are lucky charms?

The power of the stones is not about a mystical theory created by people since the beginning of the years, on the contrary it is born from the study of the minerals themselves, through which it has been possible to know the power that these have

The magic of crystals and minerals comes from its chemical composition, its crystalline energy and its color.

How can lucky charms protect you?

Amulet comes from the Latin “amuletum” and “amoliri” which means to separate or move away from the Arabic “jamalet” which means object that is carried.

It has the ability to reinforce and amplify external forces:

The amulets have the power to concentrate in a single element all the universal force and energy and allow you to enter into direct connection, all this force enhances yours, experts in the field consider them a kind of tool of light.

It allows you to take complete control of your emotions and your body:

Lucky charms allow you to find yourself with spirit and in that sense find your true motives and objectives; In this way you take absolutely all your strengths, thoughts and feelings to take the steps you must take and that are necessary to find the path and life you want.3- Light tool:

Experts in the field resemble the operation of lucky charms with a lantern, candle or lamp, as what it does is illuminate the outer and inner paths of your being to find what is necessary: positive, which is what will allow you to attract all the positive energy necessary for life.

Always carry a lucky charm built with magical precious or semiprecious mineralswill allow you to constantly carry with you the light, and the contained wisdom.

Always carry a lucky charm built with magical precious or semiprecious mineralswill allow you to constantly carry with you the light, and the contained wisdom.

How does magic work in precious stones used as an amulet?

Precious stones are a gift of nature for all of us, come from the earth itself, from its depths, are shaped by its forces and energies that have accumulated throughout the history of the life of the earth, from its bosom, Their power is based on the natural properties they possess to channel the energies that affect our physical and mental well-being.

It is said that they have the ability to distill their contained properties when they come into contact with human heat, that is why we see them in necklaces, bracelets, rings and other garments that we can always have close to us.

Let’s talk a little about energy, right?

I remember once visiting my sister in her room and seeing her with a lot of necklaces on her bed all placed very carefully on the place; He looked just as if he were ordering them delicately in small boxes.

.

I feel very attracted by that series of blue, brown, transparent crystals of very beautiful and attractive appearance; I asked him a “what are you doing?” very typical of childhood; She told me she cleaned her “stones”. that made me approach a little more and in confidence and I started taking the crystals to look at them and examine them more closely while asking what they were …

I feel very attracted by that series of blue, brown, transparent crystals of very beautiful and attractive appearance; I asked him a “what are you doing?” very typical of childhood; She told me she cleaned her “stones”. that made me approach a little more and in confidence and I started taking the crystals to look at them and examine them more closely while asking what they were …

She very kindly began to describe each stone, where it came from and what its name was, there were eyes of tigers, quarz, some green stones, other red stones and the occasional blue stone of which I no longer remember the name.

From always the stones and their undeniable power and energy were very important to her, thanks to her, it was my first impression on the subject.


So, to what we want to get:

There is no mystery! if we analyze, we realize that these crystals and we are part of the same whole, they are the expression of the energy of the gods and the wisdom of the world and we are also made of the same material, and the stones have a soul and energy, if we give them love we will receive pure and sincere love.
