Random Onyx Information:
1. The most well-known Greek mythical legend goes that one day, Cupid/Amor, the god of love, used one of his arrows to cut the fingernails of his mother Venus. As her nails fell from Mount Olympus into the sacred Indus river, they metamorphosed into Onyx as they were believed to be divine. In ancient Greek, onyx means the nail of a claw or finger.
2. Since ancient times Onyx is believed to absorb negative energy. The more negativity it absorbs the darker the crystal gets.
3. It is said that Cleopatra used to wear Black Onyx for its protective features. Sensing negative energy, the crystal would vibrate, alerting the queen deals of potential danger.
