Seaslessly handmade Black Onyx and faceted Hematite bracelet and ring chain with Crystal pave cross symbol detail

Onyx is relatively uncommon in nature. It is the striped, semiprecious variety of agate with white and black alternating bands. The name comes from the Greek onux, meaning “nail” or “claw”, referring to the mineral’s color, and it was used by the Romans for a variety of stones including alabaster, chalcedony, and what is now called onyx marble. The name onyx is properly applied only to the agate variety. Other varieties include Sardonyx, with white and red bands. As with the other chalcedonies, onyx forms from the deposition of silica at low temperatures from silica-rich waters percolating through cracks and fissures in other rocks. Natural onyx comes from India and South America. Onyx is popular for carved cameos and intaglios because its layers can be cut to show a color contrast.

The Hematite crystal healing properties stem from the stone’s high iron content, which gives it a heaviness and a weightiness that gives you the feeling of being anchored to the earth. With the simple act of bringing you back down to earth, Hematite calms a troubled mind and puts your spirit at ease so you can release any feelings of stress, tension, worry, or nervousness. Hematite’s name is derived from the Greek word haima, meaning blood. This stone is known for connecting the body to the Earth. Ancient Greeks associated Hematite with Mars, the god of war.
