Black onyx is deep, uniform black with a glassy polish when it's cut right. Most market material has been dyed for consistent color, so if the seller doesn't mention that, assume it. The Romans carved it into cameos, and most commercial black onyx on the market has been dyed for consistent color since naturally solid-black material is rare.
This piece comes from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Worth knowing: a lot of the black onyx on the market is dyed. What we carry is natural and untreated.
Black onyx has long been used in practices around a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, staying connected to your body and the moment, and settling into who you already are. It's traditionally linked to the root chakra. If that resonates, hold one in your non-dominant hand for a few breaths when things feel shaky. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
