Stone of the Week: ONYXONYX (deep black, sometimes w/creamy bands) is a stone that imparts strength and support during trying or confusing times of mental or physical stress while it boosts your energy giving you vigor and stamina.
By helping you learn, it gives you self confidence and helps you feel at ease in your surroundings.
Onyx holds the memories of things that have happened to the wearer, in that it helps you deal with the good and the bad. It's a very effective stone at healing old grief and sorrow, a mental tonic to alleviate overwhelming fears and worries.
In much crystal literature black onyx is strongly associated to Saturn, and it is said that this stone works most positively for those with a strong Saturn in their natal charts.
Although this may include people born under the sign of Capricorn, it's not limited to them.
It has been said that in India it was commonly worn to cool the ardors of love. Thus it may be very helpful for people who can't let go of past relationships (sometimes even long after they're over.)
The same can be true of any belief which no longer serves one - and they can be as hard to let go of as past relationships. Onyx's value in such situations is that it can help to bring us into contact with our actual realities, and assist us in gradually releasing all that is not in harmony with our present lives.
"Physically" Onyx is extremely helpful for teeth, bones, bone marrow and blood disorders and also helps the feet with pain and swelling.
(note: there are black, red, yellow green and more types of onyx as well)
