Energy: Onyx is a strong stone of protection, worn as a talisman to keep your physical body safe, or kept nearby to protect your emotional and spiritual space. Onyx helps you to work on yourself -- it grounds you thoroughly, helping you to find your balance, and to feel secure in it, being able to master emotions that seem too overwhelming for you. By freeing you from wasteful energies such as temper, worry, insecurity, or from emotional vampires, you will discover within yourself that you have the strength and tenacity to keep going, to persevere and to stay resolved on your best course.
