What is the Meaning of Onyx?

Onyx crystals have five healing properties. It is believed that these properties are how you can determine what Onyx can do for you. 

Healing Property 1: Protection

Onyx crystals are believed to have strong protection capabilities. In the world of crystals and crystal healing, protection is usually against negative energy. It is also believed that Onyx can help you attract good fortune and positive energy

This property can be useful if you are going through a rough time or feeling emotionally fragile. Wearing Onyx crystal jewelry can offer peace of mind that you are being protected against everyday negativity. 

Healing Property 2: Willpower

Onyx crystals are celebrated for promoting willpower in a person. No one can be operating at 100% all of the time. We're human and we're going to experience times in our lives where it's hard to find the willpower to get up and conquer everyday. 

That's where Onyx crystals can come in. Onyx is believed to help when you have a lot to accomplish but don't want to do nothing for the day. 

Healing Property 3: Strength 

Similar to willpower, Onyx is also revered for amplifying strength in a person. This could be physical strength to push yourself to hit new PRs (or to start your fitness journey from the beginning). 

This can also mean mental strength—to stay strong during tough times and to help you let go of the past to move forward toward the future. Onyx crystals can be particularly powerful for people that tend to hold grudges.

Healing Property 4: Focus

Many people have used Onyx crystals to improve their focus. This property goes hand-in-hand with the benefits of wearing fidget jewelry in general. Fidget jewelry is proven to help improve focus

If you're someone who struggles to stay focused regularly, or are getting ready to start a project that will require a lot of focus, Onyx crystals might be able to help you with your efforts.

Healing Property 5: Motivation

Finally, Onyx crystals are believed to make you feel motivated. The pairing of willpower, focus, and motivation make Onyx the perfect crystal for when you need to be operating at 100%. 

This crystal would be great to start wearing at the start of the year to stay motivated to accomplish your resolutions or to wear throughout the winter when it's harder to find motivation to be productive.

These associations can give you an idea of how wearing Onyx crystal jewelry might empower you in your daily life. 

Onyx Crystal Chakra

Onyx is primarily aligned with the root chakra. If this chakra is out of alignment, you might be feeling unbalanced or unstable. It is believed that Onyx can realign your root chakra to leave you feeling grounded.

What Signs Should Wear Onyx? 

While Ruby is the official birthstone of July and Garnet is the official birthstone of January, Onyx has been known to also be associated with both months. 

This means that it's suggested that Leos and Capricorns use Onyx in their healing practices when they can!

How Do You Charge Onyx Crystals?

Crystals are incredibly susceptible to the energies around them. During packaging and handling, there is a chance your Onyx crystal element came into contact with negative energy. Because of this, the first thing you'll want to do when your Onyx crystal jewelry arrives is to cleanse it of negative energy. 

Using one of the following methods can help you rid your crystal of negative energy. Getting rid of this type of energy can help you get the most effective use out of your crystal:

  1. Burn sage. The first method you can use to charge Onyx with positive energy is to circle it in the smoke of burning sage. Sage is an herb that's believed to absorb negative energy. You can either burn a bundle of sage or use sage incense.
  2. Charge it in sunlight. Another method of charging crystals is to leave it in sunlight. You can either find a sunny spot in your home and leave it there for a couple of hours or leave it outside in direct sunlight. If you choose to leave it outside, only expose the crystal to the sun for 30 minutes to an hour. Too much exposure to sun can affect the color of your crystal. 
  3. Charge it in moonlight. Another option for charging your Onyx crystal is to leave it in moonlight. Find a spot in your home that has access to moonlight for the entire night. Leave your Onyx crystal element there overnight. The best time to do this is during a full moon when the moon is at its most powerful. 

Every month or so, you'll want to use one of the above methods to charge your crystal. When you wear your Onyx fidget jewelry out in public, it's going to encounter negative energy. This is why it's important to regularly cleanse it!

Begin Your Onyx Crystal Healing Journey

Now that you’ve cleansed your Onyx crystal, I’m sure you’re wondering what comes next. The next step to getting your crystal all set up for use is to set an intention for how you will use your element. 

The intention should be specific and relevant to the properties and associations we have identified above. 

A great intention for Onyx is for it to give you the strength to forgive those you have held grudges against and to stop it from preventing you from moving forward. You could also set an intention to attract positive energy when you are dealing with a particularly difficult time.

Once you have decided what your intention will be, hold your Onyx element in your hand and repeat that intention into it. While you wear your ring, keep your intention in mind and make choices that align with that intention.
