Carnelian Scarab Beetle - Large

Properties and Meaning

Carnelian is a lovely semi-precious stone that's part of the chalcedony family. It has this gorgeous, semi-translucent orange to reddish-brown hue that catches the eye. People often find it inspiring because it’s said to boost your courage, spark creativity, and build confidence. Plus, it’s thought to be great for emotional healing—helping to let go of negative feelings, bring some stability, and help you find your inner balance.

The spiritual significance of the scarab beetle is deeply connected to the ancient Egyptian ideas of transformation, rebirth, and resurrection. They are linked to Khepri, the sun god who was thought to roll the sun across the sky like a dung ball. This act symbolized the sun's daily journey and, more broadly, the hope that life continues after death. Scarabs were often used as protective amulets, embodying the endless cycle of life and reminding us of the potential for growth and fresh starts in the afterlife.
