Carnelian
Element: Fire
Deities: Shango
Spiritual Use: Projective, Raising energy levels (spiritual or physical), getting rid of negative energy
Connected to the Sun and the lower charkas (solar plexus and below), carnelian can raise your spiritual and physical energy levels.
Besides dispelling negative energy, carnelian also increases self-esteem and confidence. It can increase perceptiveness and awakens inner talents.
Medically, Carnelian has been used for treatment of neuralgia, gall and kidney stones, colds and pollen allergies.
I personally do not recommend anyone sleeping with carnelian on due to its energy level because it can cause insomnia. I was told by Shango that he likes carnelian and pearl together.
