Carnelian Obelisk

To the ancient Egyptians, an obelisk was a tower of protection and defense. The needle of the stone was believed to disperse negative forces in the environment.

Carnelian (also sometimes referred to as cornelian) is found primarily in India, as well as various sites in South America. It is a variety of chalcedony. The most favorable pieces are a deep red to red-orange hue. Carnelian has a long and storied past, and was once considered strictly the property of the noble class. People holding a high social status were often buried with this gem stone.
