The lore
Onyx is layered chalcedony cut to its darkest face, and nearly every lapidary tradition assigned it the same job: absorb what should not reach you. Greeks and Romans carved seals and cameos
Working with it
Wear onyx into heavy rooms, negotiations, hospitals, funerals, family tables with history. It is traditionally a sponge rather than a mirror: practitioners treat it as taking the hit so you don't. Pair it with grounding breath; it rewards stillness.
Care & keeping
Because tradition reads onyx as an absorber, it is the stone most often cleansed: smoke, running water (briefly, it is porous at the polish), or a night on bare earth. Rest it between hard seasons.
