Black Onyx

Black Onyx, Tumble

Found in many countries, Onyx primarily refers to the parallel banded variety of the silicate mineral chalcedony. Agate and onyx are both varieties of layered chalcedony that differ only in the form of the bands: agate has curved bands and onyx has parallel bands. The colours of its bands range from black to almost every colour.

Echoing the stillness of the night sky, the Onyx crystal stone meaning symbolizes initiation and change in Peruvian and Native American traditions because it inspires feelings of personal power that comes from facing your fears. Being free of fears empowers you and frees your soul from the shackles of self-doubt and anxiety by guiding you to a richer, more meaningful existence.

Tune into the deep black void of nighttime, a restorative time when the world is quiet and calm, and focus on Onyx to free you of everyday fears. While the sun energizes us by day, a moonlit sky restores us by night. These are the moments when real change and spiritual transformation is possible, which makes the Onyx crystal an essential part of your stone collection for spiritual awakenings.

Featuring black deep black with white and grey bands of colour, Onyx symbolizes the three different phases of our ever-spinning planet. Black represents the cool and still night skies, grey is the sky at predawn and dusk, and white is the colour of the daytime. In the world of fairytales the magic always takes place at dusk or dawn, the time when all is still in the glow of twilight. Together, these colours represent the interconnectedness of black and white, the yin-yang of the universe.
