Onyx

For many years it has been believed that the more negative energy onyx absorbs, the darker the colour will become. Natural onyx comes from India and South America, although early sources suggest it was popular in ancient Egypt as Cleopatra was an avid wearer of black onyx; upon sensing negative energy the stone would vibrate, alerting the queen to potential  danger.

Black Onyx is a stone for strength, resilience, grounding, stamina and self control. It’s solid and constant presence will always bring a little comfort to times of turmoil and encourage the wearer to look to their inner strength.
