Attributes: Onyx is strength-giving. It provides support in difficult or confusing circumstances and during times of enormous mental or physical stress. This stone promotes vigor, steadfastness, and stamina. Onyx can also be used to heal old grief and sorrows.
Healing: Onyx is beneficial for teeth, bones, bone marrow, blood disorders, and the feet. Onyx must be laid on the body or worn or over a long period because its power develops very slowly. Onyx is particularly effective on the skin, healing infected wounds as well as fungal infections, inflammation, and even sunburn. Pat the affected skin with onyx water several times during the day and cover with an onyx water compress at night.
Application and care: Onyx needs time to develop its full power. It should be discharged once a week under running water and, if used for a long period, it should be placed in the earth overnight once a month.
