The Fiery Stone of Courage and Vitality

One of my favorite crystals is a stunning red heart shaped carnelian palm stone. I was immediately drawn to the multiple shades of red in this particular crystal. While it’s a little big to carry in my pocket, I love to keep this stone on display so I can enjoy the vibrant energy it gives me.
