In Short

These are A-grade Black Onyx raw stones from Minas Gerais, Brazil, sold by the piece or by the pound. Onyx is a chalcedony; the name once meant banded material, but now covers these uniformly black stones. Each piece runs 1-2 inches at Mohs 6.5-7, sourced through a community partnership. A favorite grounding stone for entryways.

About This Black Onyx

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.

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.

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.

Traditionally Used For

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.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Low

Black Onyx sits at 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real black onyx, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural black onyx from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Some commercial black onyx is dyed to achieve uniform black; ours is sourced from natural-color deposits.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 1 to 2 inches on its longest side and weighs 20 to 50 grams. About 12 to 20 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does A grade mean?

Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

This batch is from Minas Gerais, Brazil. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
