Hi, Anthony!
I have purchased a "carnalian" heart-shaped geode supposedly from Madagascar. It is very dark, more brown than red, but very bright red if you look at it behind a light bulb. What do you think it is?…
I am sending you pictures to your email, as I still can't find a way to attach them directly to this site. Feel free to post them. =)
Thank you
Polina
Hi Polina,
The great news is I’m very, very familiar with that material and yes I can confirm that is definitely Carnelian from Madagascar, great score!!!
Hi, I recently purchased a lapis
lazuli and carnelian bracelet and necklace set. is that a good pairing? Would these two stones amplify each other's effects?
Hi Minoo,
Thank you for your question. there really is no definitive answer. We know that different crystals emanate different vibrations, creating healing effects. The healing effects themselves influences each individual human in different ways. Having said that though, the fact that you have purchased these pieces together would be an indication that on an intuitive level you knew these two would work well together for you. Hope this helps! (Keep listening to your intuition!!) 🙂
I normally do not wear necklaces although I have many inherited necklaces. When I saw this Carnelian necklace, I was compulsive in buying it. I put it away for future use and was drawn to get it out. I put it on and was so enthralled; it was an ethereal moment. I kept running my hands up and down with positive sensations. It was so foreign to me to react to any crystals that I decided to look up any ethereal meanings to Carnelian. That's when this site was one of two that I gravitated to open. I was blown away by how the information fit my profile. Thanks for preparing this site.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and for your kind words regarding the site!
