CARNELIAN: The Egyptians believed carnelian had magical powers; it was believed it could ward off evil, help the blood circulation and make the skin look healthy and youthful.
Carnelian was known as the 'Blood of Isis' (Goddess of nature and guide of souls to the Underworld). Accordingly, a carnelian amulet called a 'thet' was placed on mummies to assist the dead in their journey to the afterlife.
The Egyptian faith in carnelian was so strong that, along with turquoise and lapis lazuli, it was the most used stone in ancient Egyptian jewellery.
GARNETS: Egyptians were particularly fond of garnets and referred to them as 'the symbol of life'. Garnets were placed within tombs as prized possessions to carry into the afterlife. Garnet was the gemstone of Sekhmet, the Egyptian Goddess of War and Healing.
Garnets never fell out of fashion and were also favoured by the Romans for signet rings and with the clergy and nobility in the Middle Ages.
