Individuals who might consider avoiding Carnelian are those who are particularly sensitive to high-energy stones or who may find the stone's stimulating properties overwhelming. Carnelian is known for its vibrant, energizing qualities, which can be too intense for some, especially those prone to anxiety or who are easily overstimulated. Also, those seeking a more calming, soothing energy might not resonate well with Carnelian's fiery and dynamic nature. It’s always important to consider your personal energy and how it interacts with the energy of different crystals. Trusting your intuition and how you feel in the presence of Carnelian is key to understanding whether it's suitable for you.
