The cross represents many things depending on your lineage. In Christian tradition, it represents the Crucifixion as one example, but it can be seen as a crossroads of life. It may symbolize triumph over suffering and defeat or having faith in something bigger than yourself. It can depict an understanding of love and loss and the gratitude that comes from what we do have rather than what we don’t. Some see it as the coming together of the upper and lower dimensions or worlds. Regardless of how you see the cross, it can bring about peace and gratitude with your intention. Carnelian is a stone that represents fire, warmth and vibrancy. It’s a stone that can ignite you and give you courage to stay the course.
