It was very amuzing to read yesterday about Carnelian.
Why suddenly this stone if I said, I'll write about green stones next time? I don't know sincerely what provoked this curiosity. Probably decided finally to begin the cure of my eyes with it. Or because I like my last neckace from carnelian too much.

In any case I found a very interesting article about this stone telling about famous persons that loved it. They lived in different epoches, and there were many men between them too.

To begin the "slideshow":
the first objects made from carnelian come from 800-60 000 years ago. The first talisman was made 18 000 years ago.

Bible writes about it.

Necklaces from carnelian had queen Shub-Ad from the town Ur- 5 000 years ago.

Prophet Mahomet weared a ring with carnelian on the little finger of the right hand. He said that everybody who weares this stone will never be poor and all his desires will be carry out by the will of Allah (if you know precise words, I'll be happy if you write me them.

Napoléon III Bonaparte had a pendant or a ring (I'm not sure) with carnelian.

Cleopatra had pendants and a vase for her eyeshadow made from carnelian.

Tamerlan/Timur had a belt buckle with carnelian.

Lord Byron received a ring with carnelian from one of his puples and wrote a poem about it (The Cornelian) the fact that allowed to suppose his non traditional sexual orientation.
Goethe wrote that carnelian gives many benefits to thosewho believes in it.
Many poets declared this stone as their talisman and Pushkin said even that his gift to create poesies depends from his ring with carnelian.

Now say me, is it not amuzing?
