Today onyx is considered a stone of protection, concentration and self-confidence. It is said to have the ability to absorb negative energies and transform them into inner calm and strength. Whether or not you believe in its energetic properties, it is undeniable that onyx exudes a strong presence, an energy of stability and balance that attracts the eye.
