Make it stand out

The Science:

• Composition: A variety of Chalcedony (cryptocrystalline quartz) made of silicon dioxide.

• Structure: Features parallel bands, often in black and white.

• Hardness: A durable 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale.

Metaphysical Information:

• Chakras: Resonates strongly with the Root Chakra, providing stability and security.

• Key Benefits: It is a powerhouse for protection, believed to absorb and transform negative energy. It’s ideal for athletes or anyone under high pressure, as it boosts stamina and self-control.

How to Care:

• The Physical Care: Onyx is quite durable, but it can be prone to scratches if stored with diamonds or sapphires. Wash it with mild soap and lukewarm water.

• The Energetic Cleanse: As a "vacuum" for negative energy, Onyx needs frequent clearing. Brown Rice or SEA Salt is a fantastic method—bury the stone in a bowl of Rice or salt overnight to draw out the "heavy" vibes it has absorbed for you.

• The Recharge: placing your onyx in view of a full moon will recharge the stone’s energy.
