The Guardian

Onyx is a root chakra stone long revered for its grounding aura. It's a strong support crystal for developing one's inner strength, determination, and better focus. Black onyx is thought by some to have protective qualities, making it advantageous to carry when traveling.

Black is associated with regeneration and new beginnings. Black onyx is said to be useful in fighting base fears and helping to move beyond bad relationships, as well as to heal old emotional wounds. The Romans associated onyx with courage, and it was believed to be useful when defending oneself against unfair criticism.


Onyx is a 7 out of 10 on the Moh's Hardness Scale. It is an alternative birthstone for the month of December, and the stone for astrological sign Leo.


*Please note, each piece of Onyx is unique, and shape and colors will vary from stone to stone. This listing is for a single piece of onyx of about the size pictured.





✺ Recharging Your Crystals ✺


Because the stones absorb energies from their wearer and surroundings, it's recommended that you cleanse and recharge your stones from time to time. To do this, there are several easy ways:

-Leave out overnight under clear full moonlight (avoid rain!)
-Smudge stones with Sage or Palo Santo wood
-Recharge with Selenite (often available in sticks, bowls, and plates for this purpose, I love selenite bowls for this reason!)
