Carnelian is a high energy crystal that enhances the wearer's creativity, motivation and inspiration. It is stabilizing and empowering when you are tired, confused or bored. Carnelian is also said to be an excellent crystal to wear during pregnancy.
In Sweden, carnelian has been used as a gemstone since the Viking Age. It was then called Sard, after the city of Sardes in present-day Turkey.

Obsidian, also called dragon glass, is believed to have great protective properties.  and helps body, soul and mind find balance. It is also said to protect against electrical fields and so-called curry lines.

Obsidian consists of solidified lava that has been rapidly cooled by the surrounding air or water. When it cools down quickly, no crystals have time to form, giving the stone a smooth and glassy appearance. The most common colors are light green to dark green, purple, red, pink, brown or completely black or combinations of the different colors.
Obsidian is relatively easy to work with and was used for arrowheads and knives as early as 5,000 years ago.
