Onyx is a variety of Agate divided in black and white bands. The name already developed 5000 years ago because onyx is the Greek word for ‘claw’ or fingernail, because these veins resemble the colors of a fingernail.
Therefore onyx is said to encourage the growth of fingernails, hair and enhance the beauty of the skin.
Indeed a very useful attribute, but there is a lot more to find out about the onyx.
Black does not reflect light but it makes it appear even stronger. This is why the human eye prefers seeing sparkling fireworks on a night sky, looking just like the onyx.
Also when thinking of dichotomy, a phase of the moon or an inferior planet in which half its disk appears illuminated, our universe shows us, and again just like the onyx, an advantage of both - darkness and light.
The onyx therefore tells us whenever there is darkness there will always be a light even more illuminated next to it.
Onyx helps in times of mourning and grief and also helps in leaving or ending a negative relationship, or recovering from one.
