Black Onyx-Protection-Destiny-Strength

Dark, mirror-like Black Onyx has long been a symbol of strength. Ancient Romans carved images of Mars, the God of War, into the “Warrior Stone” and carried it into battle to give courage and protection. The structure of Onyx has made it ideal to carve and there’s a long history of its use in cameos and intaglios.
