Stone Lore:

Carnelian is said to be a stone of creativity, individuality, and courage, to be a stone of protection from anger and other negative emotions. It has been used to heal open wounds, and to help with kidney problems, colds, and allergies. In ancient times, it was used to protect the dead in their journey to the afterlife.

Green Aventurine, a type of mica, is one of the stones used to attract luck, abundance, and success. It is said to have a soothing energy, and to help one with stress and with personal growth. Physically, green aventurine has been used for the healing of lungs, liver, heart, and eyes.
