This is a beautiful polished Carnelian Egg with great color and patterns.  The colors run from a deep, rich red to a honey colored cream.  This piece has particularly beautiful dark red inclusion lines creating a mesmerizing and beautiful pattern.  Very nice!  Metaphysically, "Carnelian works from the light body levels to bring creative energies into the physical consciousness where they can be focused and expressed in a physical way.  Working with Carnelian will break up any blocks that are inhibiting the flow of creative energy."
