Black Onyx helps us to see the Ying & Yang of it all, the ebb and flow between all things, the male & female, the light & dark.įor many people, and in many ways we don't always come to the realisation that we're on the wrong path until we've actually done the wrong things. To remind us that to find a solid footing again we have to realise that life is about give and take, that ultimately we only get out what we put back in.
This is where the core of Black Onyx's influence works. And to do that we must realise we can't just be one of those things - everything in life is about balance. Maybe you've done some good in your life, maybe some bad? Maybe you loved, maybe you hurt people? None of that matters, you can still reset your path, it is possible to move forward. Much like other dark crystals like Obsidian - or Indigo Gabbro in particular - Black Onyx will first push you to truly take a good look at yourself, albeit in a much gentler way. Black Onyx is for those of us who have already lived a life, maybe two, and have come to the realisation that it isn't working out, that if you really want to get where you want then things are going to have to change. In the case of Black Onyx we have a crystal that is for resetting your karma, when you need to completely start over on your path in life. These Onyx crystals will first and foremost help to recenter you back on your path, or alternatively keep on it when the road gets tough. The path one takes in life can change at any point, and will most definitely be filled with various kinds of bumps in the road. The first thing that should be pointed out is that all forms of this Pakistan Onyx have one definite recurring theme - to help better understand your karma, or why things keep happening to you the way that they do.
So with all that being said, what is this form of Onyx good for then? Much of this has to do with the area in West Pakistan where these Onyx originate from, producing calcites with a much stronger chemical bond that appear more like solid stone rather than crumbly calcites (see our description of Caribbean Calcite here for a good example). Regardless of their name, these pieces have grown into crystals in their own right and exhibit properties and an energy signature much like an older, denser crystal, similar to something like Agate. As such, some might argue that they're not really 'onyx' at all, but have just been stuck with the name, much like Mexican Onyx has. To begin with, from a strictly geological point of view (because we know you 'rock hounds' will pull us up on this) these samples of Onyx are from Pakistan, in the Balochistan region, where they have developed as a form of calcium carbonate and are really more of a banded Calcite, rather than pure Onyx which typically forms as a variety of Agate.
To help overcome this needless worry of dark crystals we would like to introduce you to the beautiful Black Onyx. It can be a little hard to swallow, and for some people that can be scary. Darker coloured crystals typically bring out what is deep inside us, or they force us to look inside, to really look in the mirror or the truth of our situations, and the truth.
In our experience, no crystal is good or bad, it usually comes down to a reflection of the person using it - it's not the tool, but the hand that wields it. We've often been surprised at people's trepidation and concern when they ask us about using these crystals. This stigma carries across to gemstones like Obsidian, Indigo Gabbro and even Tourmaline which is one of the greatest protections we could use. There is a running belief in the crystal world that black gemstones carry negative energies, or at the very least deal with the darker side of our emotions, and should be avoided or handled with great care.
