Welcome
Cornelian has featured in nearly every great civilization. From the royalty of Ur (the Mesopotamian capital of pre-biblical times) to Napoleon, cornelian has been revered for its healing, spiritual and creative qualities.
A deeply religious stone, cornelian was used by the Egyptian goddess Isis to protect the dead on their journey to the afterlife; was one of the stones on Aaron's breast plate of judgment; it is the symbol of the Apostle Philip; and Muhammad's seal was an engraved cornelian set in a silver ring.
To this day Buddhists in China, India and Tibet believe in the protective powers of cornelian and often follow the Egyptian practice of setting the stone with turquoise and lapis lazuli for enhanced power.
It is also the Astrological birthstone for Virgos.
