Onyx was very popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Onyx is mined in Brazil, India, California and Uruguay. It has a fine texture and black colour; however some onyx also displays white bands or ribbons against a black or brown background and again, this variety is known as sardonyx.

The Onix will Work:

 

• Onyx is thought to increase regeneration, happiness, intuition and one's instincts.

• It is also told to decrease sexual desire.

• Aids in changing bad habits.

• The shapes or patterns that onyx holds inside it have led some to suggest that Onyx has a picture in it that tells a story or carries a lesson. Lore tells us that an onyx will retain memory of the physical occurrences surrounding a person. A strong stone to use in psychic work as it tells the story of the wearer.

• A strength-giving stone, good for athletes or people under extreme mental and emotional stress.

• It brings balance to mind or body as well as strength of mind.

• Onyx is a wonderful stone for those who are flighty by nature, as it will help ground and focus your attention.

• A strengthening stone that can help you approach a lesson or task with greater self-confidence.

• It is highly recommended that Onyx be used in conjunction with pearls and diamonds to increase their own metaphysical qualities.

HEALING PROPERTIES:

 

• Onyx must be laid directly on the body or worn over a long period of time as it's power develops quite slowly.

• It is known to be particularly helpful with skin ailments, healing infected wounds as well as fungal infections, inflammation and even sunburn. Pat the affected skin with onyx water several times during the day and cover with an onyx water compress at night.

• Due to the fact that onyx needs time to develop its full power, it should be discharged once a week under running water, and if used for a long period of time, it should be placed in the earth overnight once a month. This will regenerate it to help keep it's energy strong.
