A glassy, translucent stone, carnelian is an orange-colored variety of chalcedony, a mineral of the quartz family. Its color varies from pale pinkish-orange to a deep rusty brown, though it is most known for its brilliant orange and red-orange crystals.

Its name comes from a latin word meaning flesh. In antiquity, as well as today, carnelian is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold. Ancient warriors wore carnelian around their neck for courage and physical power to conquer their enemies.

In egypt it was worn by master architects to show their rank of builder, and alchemists of the middle ages used it as a boiling stone to activate the energy of other chalcedonies. The ancient egyptians called carnelian the setting sun. In its orange hues, they identified it with the receptive or passive female energies, and associated it with the fertile menstrual blood of the mother goddess, isis. In its red, red-orange to reddish brown shades, they considered it the active male energy stone, recognized by its glowing vibrant color.

Agate is a stone that transmits strength, creativity, protection, and courage onto its owners. It strengthens both physically and mentally. Although it assists in increasing energy, it does so only as needed. In this way, agate acts as a conservative stone, applying its elements only when necessary.

As agate heals, it strengthens the body's connection to the earth and harmonizes its various elements. In ancient times, agate was found in the river achetes in sicily, which is where it gets its name.

Traditionally nomadic pastoralists, small groups of tuareg are also found in northern nigeria. The tuareg speak the tuareg languages (also known as tamasheq), which belong to the berber branch of the afro-asiatic family. The tuaregs have been called the "blue people" for the indigo-dye colored clothes they traditionally wear and which stains their skin. As semi-nomadic people, they are believed to be descendants of the berber natives of north africa. The tuaregs have been one of the ethnic groups that have been historically influential in the spreading of their legacy in north africa and the adjacent sahel region.

Tuareg society has traditionally featured clan membership, social status and caste hierarchies within each political confederation. The tuareg have controlled several trans-saharan trade routes, and have been an important party to the conflicts in the saharan region during the colonial and post-colonial era.
