General Gemstone Details
The name comes from the Greek word onux, meaning
fingernail. The story is that one day frisky Cupid cut the divine fingernails of
Venus with an arrowhead while she was sleeping. He left the clippings scattered
on the sand and the fates turned them into stone so that no part of the heavenly
body would ever perish.
True, black isn't normally the color one associates with
fingernails. But in Greek times, almost all colors of chalcedony from white to
dark brown and black were called onyx. Today when we think of onyx we often
preface the word with black to distinguish it from other varieties of onyx that
come in white, reddish brown, brown and banded. Later, the Romans narrowed the
term "onyx" to refer to black and dark brown colors only.
Mystical Properties:
Onyx is thought
to increase regeneration, happiness, intuition and one's instincts. It is also
told to decrease sexual desire, and to aid 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.
