Carnelian stone is a variety of chalcedony quartz, red-brown to orange in colour, coloured by traces of iron. Carnelian is one of the oldest commercially traded gemstones, used for trade and jewellery, and dates back to ancient Egypt. The most significant sources of Carnelian can be found in Brazil, Uruguay, India, Madagascar, and the United States.

Carnelian helps to balance creativity and mental processes, and increases passion and compassion. In the Feng Shui tradition, orange is associated with creativity, abundance, organisation.

The Buddhist mala should not be worn while bathing, nor should it be allowed to get wet, as this can weaken the cord on which the mala beads are tied. It is best to remove the mala before going to sleep, so that you do not accidentally stress the cord and break it.

Caring for your mala:

• Please do not wash your mala or wear it while showering or sleeping, as this can weaken the mala cord.
• To clean your mala: gently wipe the beads with a damp cloth and place in moonlight or sunlight to dry.
• When not in use, store your mala in a Mala Bag.
