Many cultures regard Black Onyx as a stone of steadfastness and grounding, invoking calm during turbulent times.

Geological and Physical Properties of Black Onyx
Black Onyx is a variety of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline form of quartz, with a Mohs hardness rating of 6.5 to 7, ensuring durability for everyday wear. It forms predominantly in volcanic rock cavities and sedimentary environments, where silica-rich solutions deposit layers that create its distinctive bands, although pure black varieties are highly prized. Its tough nature allows it to be shaped into smooth, round beads perfect for jewellery.
