PHYSICAL: Black Onyx is part of the quartz family, as is all jasper, agate, and chalcedony. Black Onyx may be natural or color enhanced, and is used in jewelry frequently due to its high durability and beauty.
HEALING: Black Onyx is associated with focus, inner strength, and protection.
Care for gemstones in sterling silver jewelry:
As with all natural stones set in silver, these jewelry pieces should be removed when taking a shower, swimming, or entering a hot springs. Water (especially hot water) can damage natural materials and even cause settings to fail. This is especially true with gemstone rings!
*Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for wear in jewelry, display, study, and collector interest only.
