Sleek, strong, and oh-so-mystical—Onyx is that quiet powerhouse you didn’t know you needed!
 
Striking, sophisticated, and endlessly versatile, Onyx is a gemstone with layers—literally. This banded variety of Chalcedony reveals alternating stripes of color, from the classic black-and-white combination to earthy hues like browns, greens, and reds. Each piece is formed by silica layering in volcanic gas cavities, giving Onyx its distinct linear beauty. Known sources include Mexico, Brazil, and the United States, where it’s mined for use in fine jewelry, decorative accents, and architectural details. Its glossy polish and natural elegance ensure its popularity never fades.
 
On the metaphysical side, Onyx is cherished as a stone of strength, discipline, and emotional balance. It grounds energy while providing a shield against negativity, making it a reliable ally for those navigating stressful or demanding circumstances. Its supportive vibration enhances memory, concentration, and determination, which is especially useful when learning or mastering new skills. Onyx also has a soothing quality, calming turbulent emotions and encouraging emotional healing. With roots in many cultural traditions and a long-standing reputation for power and beauty, Onyx holds a special place as both a protective stone and a decorative treasure.
