We are continuing our focus on December’s Birthstones which include blue topaz, chrysoprase, lapis lazuli, onyx, ruby, turquoise, tanzanite, and zircon.
The Zodiac signs of Sagittarius and
Capricorn, the two signs that fall in the month of December, include agate,
amethyst, beryl, garnet and sapphire.
Today we highlighted Onyx.
According to “Gem Select”, Onyx is black
and white banded agate (cryptocrystalline or chalcedony quartz). Niccolo onyx, which has a very thin upper
layer, allows the black base colour to show through as grey or blue. Onyx has a hardness of 6.5 to 7. Our highlights piece is Blue Onyx.
Blue Onyx has been used in rosaries for
centuries.
Blue Onyx is said to releases stress,
anxiety, worry and grief. It is said to
carry a soothing and healing energy and assists us with clear communication.
It is a sobriety stone especially when
coupled with amethyst.
Blue Onyx is associated with the throat
chakra.
