Carnelian is said to assist in stimulating creativity. It seems to have a clearing effect, dispelling negative energies as it replaces them with positive ones. This can make it easier to find direction, and its grounding effects can make it easier for you to feel in control of your life. This makes carnelian a good stone for people who feel like they are going nowhere.
Physically, the Carnelian stone can aid in fertility in both males and females, and aids in menstrual and menopausal symptoms. Carnelian is full of the life force, stimulating metabolism and a good supply of blood to the organs and tissues.
