The Meaning of Onyx
The significance of the onyx stone has remained remarkably consistent across thousands of years and diverse cultures. It is one of the oldest gemstones in human history, mentioned in ancient texts from Egypt, Greece, Rome, and India.
Its primary meanings are strength and protection.
Ancient Roman soldiers wore onyx stones carved with the image of Mars, the god of war, before heading into battle. They believed these stones imbued them with courage and shielded them from harm. In medieval Europe, people used onyx to ward off negative energy and evil forces. Islamic tradition describes onyx as a stone that dispels fear and instills courage.
The meaning of black onyx, in particular, centers on:
Grounding and stability ā Black onyx is associated with the 'Root Chakra' (Muladhara Chakra). This energy center, located at the base of the spine, governs your sense of security, stability, and connection to the earth. When life feels chaotic or uncertain, people turn to black onyx.
Protection: It is considered one of the most reliable protective stones. It is believed to absorb and transform negative energy rather than simply repelling it.
Self-control and Focus: Onyx is associated with discipline, focused effort, and the ability to concentrate on what matters without being distracted or drained by external pressures.
Courage: The warrior's stone. Onyx is for those who need to act despite their fearsāthose who have the courage to step up, speak out, or move forward even when things seem difficult.
Onyx Stone Price ā What to Expect
In the gemstone market, onyx is quite affordableāwhich is why it is so widely used in jewelry making. Commercial-grade onyx cabochons typically cost between $1 and $5 per piece, depending on size and color. Larger, high-quality pieces command higher prices. Black onyx is the most readily available and, consequently, usually the least expensive. Green and teal onyx varieties are slightly more expensive due to their relative scarcity.
This lot contains 15 pieces ranging from 15mm to 25mm in size, with a total price of $15.96āworking out to approximately $1.06 per piece. This is truly an excellent price for polished, flat-back cabochons in this size range.
