In India gemstones play an important
role in most peoples’ lives. Most of the precious and semi-precious
stones are known to affect lives and so Gemology is considered as an
important science. People are recommended to wear gemstones in
accordance to their birth month and other astrological factors. Amongst
the varied gemstones recommended is Onyx. Onyx is basically a form of quartz, which has a fine texture and is primarily black in color. Onyx is also found in other shades such as reddish brown Onyx (Sardonyx), red, blue, green, yellow and white. The Greeks and Romans are known to have worn Onyx jewelry in the ancient era. It is believed that the word Onyx originates from the Greek word ‘Onux’ meaning ‘fingernail’ and has a Greek mythical tale attached to it. From the astrological perspective Onyx is the birthstone for those born in August and a lucky charm for the Leo sun sign. It is also is significant as the 10th wedding anniversary gemstone. Apart from zodiacal significance, people usually wear Onyx jewelry to ward away negativity. In India Gemologists recommend Onyx as a protective measure for harmonious relationships, thus keeping away any probability of disturbances or differences in one’s. Onyx jewelry when worn is believed to
enhance self-confidence, enhance a sense of responsibility and increase
one’s self-esteem. Onyx is also believed to enhance one’s consistency,
focus and bring about a feeling of detachment. It also helps one on the
path of Spirituality.
