Carnelian Headbands

These fun headbands are part of our collection of hair accessories that we carry mostly in our brick and mortar store. This head band displays polished chips of carnelian stones that are wire wrapped to the gold tone band. At its widest point, these headbands measure about 4 1/2".

History and Metaphysical Properties:

Member of the quartz family known as chalcedony, carnelian was one of the first stones used in jewelry, mainly because of its abundance. The Egyptians believed that it had special powers in the afterlife, and helped with the passage of the soul into the next world. The Greeks and Romans believed it to provide protection against evil and also ensure continuation of hope, good luck and comforts. They also used it to calm rage and diffuse envy. Carnelian was also known as the “Actor’s Stone,” for it helps the creative process and artistic expression.
