Black Onyx Meaning and Properties

Black Onyx is a variety of banded Chalcedony, the lines forming the banding being straight and parallel. Onyx is found in a range of colors from grey/black, grey/white green, and orange/red/brown depending on the mineral inclusion. Some colors are dyed.

The frequency of black Onyx connects to the Earth star, base, and solar plexus chakras. It helps to ground one’s energies to the magnetic core of the Earth so that one feels safe, secure, and supported.

The strong energy of black Onyx can help one to build one’s inner strength, aiding with self-mastery.


Via the solar plexus chakra, it can aid one with one’s personal power by allowing one to become focused and positive in thought, to endure and follow through with one’s ideas and gives one control over one’s actions, and aids self-discipline.

Black Onyx energetically aids one’s physical vehicle by allowing one to focus one’s energy to increase physical strength, stamina, and vitality.
