Description
BLACK ONYX is said to be useful in fighting basic fears and helping to move beyond bad relationships–as well as to heal old emotional wounds. The Romans associated onyx with courage and it is thought to be useful when one is defending him/herself against unfair criticism.
A stone of protection from negative energy, Black Onyx can shield the wearer from a flurry of negative emotions. The stone acts as a shield against negative spirits, dispersing them and preventing them from becoming part of the wearer’s aura.
Onyx is the parallel-banded variety of chalcedony, an oxide mineral. Agate and onyx are both varieties of layered chalcedony that differ only in the form of the bands; agate has curved bands while onyx has parallel bands. The colors of its bands range from black to almost every color. Wikipedia
