Hi to everyone, this is my first post on here and hope you are all well
Im wondering whether some of you have any insight or advice into an experience I recently had with carnelian. I bought a lovely carnelian pendant just after Christmas. I did everything I usually do with my crystals, cleansed it and charged it before wearing. (I left my carnelian in the sun for a few hours as the weather was lovely and I read carnelian is a sun loving stone).
After wearing it for a few days I became really poorly with an upper respiratory tract infection (I'm rarely ill, the last time was 4 years ago!) At the time thought nothing of it thinking it had no connection to my crystal. I slowly improved to only become ill again with the same problem 3 weeks later. Then followed by a awful sinus infection for the first time in my life. At this point I had taken the carnelian off and just carried it with me in my bag. I became very depressed and anxious over the following weeks and felt dreadful, suffering severe anxiety that I drove myself to A&E in a complete panic in the middle of the night!
Not long after I was cleaning out my bag and I think I accidentally threw away the carnelian, the chain, the lot! I cannot now find it anywhere, but since it's gone missing I feel my health has returned and my depressed mood has lifted. I feel I appreciate my health a heck of a lot more than I used to!
I have many crystals at home with Smokey quartz my favourite, yet this is the first time IV had a bad experience with a crystal.
I read somewhere a while back that crystals can either break or crack or just go missing once there energy or healing powers are no longer needed by the owner. I don't know how true this is but I just dont know what benefit carnelian gave me during this time. Can certain stones actually make you physically ill?
