Carnelian mala beads have a long history. Ancient Egyptians used carnelian in amulets and jewelry to protect the dead and boost vitality. Romans and Byzantines set it in rings and talismans for courage and status. In South Asia, Hindus and Buddhists have used carnelian malas for mantra, meditation, and devotion, believing the stone supports life force, creativity, and grounding. Through the medieval and Renaissance eras and into modern spiritual practice, carnelian remains popular for protection, energy, and warm, uplifting presence in meditation and on altars. Collect and wear our malas as jewelry or for your meditation practice. Makes a great gift!
