Onyx

onyxThe onyx stone is known by many as a shiny black stone, but few of the lay public know that more natural for the onyx are strips of white, brown and red color, of course on a black background. Black is, therefore, the primary color of onyx, and striped layering indicates that onyx, like sardonyx, which is rather reddish-brown, belongs to the group of Chalcedon.

The name onyx comes from the Greek word "Onux," which means a nail in translation. About its origin, the legend says that Amor shot his arrow into the nail of his mother, the God of Venus. The fingernail fell from heaven to Earth, and because it is said what is divine cannot die. The nail fossilized and created an onyx stone.

Onyx and its locations

The largest locations in the world are in Brazil, Australia, and onyx is abundant in Arabia, Egypt, India, and Russia. Onyx is also found in the Czech Republic in the area of Podkrkonoší. Not only in ancient Greece, the onyx was fashionable, but also later when the onyx was processed for seals, medallions, and brooches or other commemorative items, as their processing was interesting.

When the onyx was processed to jewelry, its striped structure was used, with careful grinding on the black background appeared brown or white portraits and portraits of the gods, rulers and their coats of arms.

Onyx in esoteric

Onyx is the gemstone of abstaining smokers and alcoholics, it is a self-controlling stone. For this resistance to addictions is onyx very suitable companion, because it forces us to seriously realize, that we ourselves are the creators of our lives. Those addictions do not bring anything good to our lives and torment us. Onyx helps us to take fate to our hands.

The healing power of onyx is unfortunately very short, so we charge it more often, and we recommend to use it very rarely.
We cleanse the onyx very often under a stream of water and charge it in direct sunlight for as long as possible.
