Black Onyx Tumble Stone

Black Onyx is the warrior you want on your side during times of emotional turmoil. A powerful protector, Black Onyx absorbs negativity and gives you the strength to get through the toughest of times. Connected to the Root chakra, Black Onyx is a very grounding stone, supporting you to find stability amongst turbulence.

If you are looking to add Black Onyx to your crystal collection, be cautious, as most of the Black Onyx on the market is not true Onyx. Black Onyx is a variety of chalcedony that is black with white layers. The white layers create a unique white banding that runs parallel across the stone. To create fake Onyx, Agate or Calcite is dyed black. However, the banding seen on Agate and Calcite is crooked and wavy, so it does not have the same neat and parallel banding of True Onyx. There are also plastic and glass Onyx imitations. Any Onyx that is completely black with minimal imperfections is likely to be plastic or glass.
