Onyx Jewelry

The very beautiful Onyx stone is a banded variety of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline form of Quartz. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color of the rainbow (not including shades such as purple, blue, or black).
Commonly, specimens of onyx contain colors of white, tan, and brown. Sardonyx is a variant in which the colored bands are shades of red rather than black.
It is said that Black Onyx enhances steadfastness and determination, setting one's mind to task. It is a stone of elation, valuable in difficult or confusing times in our lives; found to be extremely helpful to people who are in the process of "letting go" or releasing steadfast attachments to people, places and things.
An excellent stone for initiating the centering and alignment of the total person with their Higher Power, it helps us to absorb whatever energy we may need from the Universe. It has been used to deflect or absorb the negativity of others, and in that way is a good stone for protection from negative forces and influences.

The following points have long been held to credit the Onyx:
Enhancing self mastery
Valuable in difficult or confusing times in life
Absorbs and flattens emotional intensity.
Helps to smooth out the "Roller Coaster Ride" of emotions.

Protection: A good stone for entrepreneurs and inventors, to repel negative energy surrounding other peoples' opinions or ideas.
Detachment: The ancient Egyptians believe that it could cool the ardors of love and actually cause disagreements between lovers to the point of separation! You might use Onyx for self-protection or to keep away or end unhealthy or bothersome emotional entanglements.
Letting Go: Extremely helpful to people who are having trouble letting go or releasing the past or attachments and moving on after a relationship has ended, sometimes years past the event. It helps release old beliefs and patterns that no longer serve us, gives way to visions and guidance through meditation and dreams.
