BLACK ONYX: for protection, grounding and willpower

This beautiful jet black gemstone is the birthstone for Leos and has long been known for its healing and spiritual properties. Black Onyx is a soothing stone that offers its bearer powerful vibrations of protection, willpower, focus and strength, especially during times of emotional turmoil. When worn, the gemstone helps you get over past relationships, move forward and start living in the present. It activates your root chakra and supports your ability to fully connect to the earth. In addition to this, the onyx stone carries the power to give you the energy boost you need to start pursuing your dreams and protect you from negative energies on your journey as you work towards your goals.


Physical healing

Black Onyx is the stone of stability and grounding and its healing properties are connected to your root chakras. The gemstone strengthens your immune system, providing stamina and vitality to your body, and preventing relapses after illnesses. Also, onyx supports your ears - if you are to hear the wisdom of the Universe, you need healthy inner ears and acute hearing!


Emotional healing

If you’re filled with stress, anxiety and confusion, then the vibration of Black Onyx can bring you back to a place of calm, stability and restore your confidence. The gemstone cuts through any foggy feelings and brings a sense of mental clarity when you need to make important decisions.


Spiritual healing

Black Onyx is particularly useful if you’re seeking to channel your negative personal energy into more positive paths. Its grounding energy helps you identify the negative energy you are holding, release it and refocus on the light. When you’re in this higher state, you can make better decisions and draw happiness into your life.


The gemstone can become clouded by all the negative energies that it has been removing so make sure you cleanse it regularly. You can do this by holding your Black Onyx stone in clear running water. Another easy method of cleansing Black Onyx is by smudging a sage stick. Place your crystal in the stream of smoke by holding it in your hand and letting the smoke rise on all its sides. Do this for five minutes and your Onyx will be cleansed. This is the safest method because there is no risk of damage or discolouring of your gemstone.
